Álvaro Morata is right, writes Antonio Vitiello: the adaptation period is over. AC Milan must decide what they want to achieve this season—whether to go through a year of ups and downs or to finally take the right path.
Milan, no excuses
So far, too many things have been unconvincing. Beyond the results, which barely come, Milan's gameplay isn't impressive either. Not to mention the internal issues that need to be resolved for the good of the team.
An experienced player like Morata, besides not making excuses for Milan's delay in the standings, has even called Rafael Leao the most talented player on the team, contradicting Paulo Fonseca, who instead wants to “normalise” the Portuguese being on the bench.
Benching the most talented player in the squad can't be normal. Rafa is going through a rough patch but needs support, because when the real Leao returns, the whole team will benefit.
It is Leao's turn to prove himself to Milan coach Paulo Fonseca
Against Real tonight, Rafa will have a great chance from the start and needs to seize it. Just like he did a year ago against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, the last time the Portuguese scored in Europe. He needs to dispel doubts and rumors, regain confidence, and become decisive again. The Bernabéu is the best stage to try.
