The latest edition of Tuttosport headlines this morning with:
"Fonseca's Courage: 'Camarda Will Play'."
With Alvaro Morata out, the Rossoneri head coach has decided that the young Italian striker will replace him tonight, starting in the centre of Milan's attack against Cagliari.
This makes Camarda the second youngest player to make his first start for Milan, following Giuseppe Sacchi in 1942.
The announcement was made yesterday in a press conference by Paulo Fonseca, who explained the decision to deploy Francesco Camarda:
"For me, it’s not surprising. He works with us every day. I think everyone at the club believes a lot in him, he works well, and understands the role well. For me, players don’t have an age, they have quality. And he shows every day that he has quality. Morata, at this moment, has a very specific role. Morata is not always a striker, but many times he is a player who unlocks passing lines."
Fonseca concluded:
"I think Camarda is currently more ready than Abraham to play this role. And I must say that Abraham isn’t fully fit, but he’s better. I have total trust in Camarda. He has trained very well. He has the age he has, but he has great maturity. He has courage, he works hard for the team defensively. Yesterday, we had this issue with Morata. I didn’t have a single doubt about who should play tomorrow."
