Seven matches in 21 days before the next international break. In less than a month, we'll understand if this team can compete for the title or if it will be another uneventful year, where the best achievable result will be a Champions League qualifying spot.
The question remains the same: which is the real Milan?
The one seen against Inter or the one seen against Parma and Fiorentina? The feeling is that the team will go through the season with ups and downs because it’s inconsistent and was built with many imperfections.
Milan has many strong players, lots of great individual talents, but it’s not a cohesive team, and in some positions, especially in midfield or the fullback roles, there are limited options.
Paulo Fonseca’s task is not easy at all, in fact, it would have been difficult for any coach. But it’s also clear that he’s betting everything on this. Between October and November, we’ll be able to make a more precise assessment of the Portuguese coach, who’s been called upon to shake the team up.
Milannews.it point that it has been reiterated in the past that a coach with different traits was needed, especially for managing the locker room. But the decision was made a while ago, and now we’ll see how Fonseca responds in this phase of the season.
