As reported by Tuttosport in this morning's print edition, the AC Milan club is taking a hardline approach with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Portuguese head coach Paulo Fonseca.
In the coming days, Zlatan will definitely be involved in a face-to-face meeting with the group and will have to play the "Paolo Maldini" role in this situation.
After what happened against Fiorentina, any further missteps are now forbidden.
Ibrahimovic's return is awaited for a confrontation with the Milan players.
It is not yet clear if the 43-year-old Swede will be at Milanello tomorrow or if he will wait for all the players to return from international duty to be present at the training center, similar to what happened after the defeat to Liverpool when he held individual talks with Mike Maignan, Theo Hernandez, and Tijjani Reijnders, some of the most representative players.
In short, Zlatan will have to act a bit like Paolo Maldini in this situation, while Paulo Fonseca will be tasked with introducing a new technical-tactical phase that penetrates the players' minds in a convincing manner.
The 4-2-4 formation used since the derby has shown some positive effects, but at the same time, it actually depletes the bench of possible in-game solutions.
