Milan loses against Napoli and sees even the last hopes of reaching fourth place fade away. To tell the truth, considering also the distances from fifth and sixth place, there is a serious risk that Sergio Conceição’s team will miss out on European qualification altogether next season, which is why the Coppa Italia becomes even more important. This morning, former coach Fabio Capello spoke about the two-legged cup derby against Inter in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Let's move on to Milan, trailing in Naples after less than two minutes.
"The first half from the Rossoneri was scandalous. I also didn’t understand Conceição’s choices: Joao Felix as a starter, against an opponent that runs like Napoli, and Leao on the bench. Meh..."
Rafa then came on and did well... Capello said:
"Undoubtedly. Leao has something extra, though he always lacks consistency. But if he had it, maybe he wouldn’t be at this Milan..."
Beyond the lineup choices, Conceição is also struggling to give defensive solidity.
"Between Fonseca before and him now, Milan has improved very little in the defensive phase. And then I wonder: what happened to Tomori? Disappeared."
