The AC Milan team, like all the others involved in European competitions, will have to play seven matches in the next 21 days.
The difference compared to their rivals is that the Rossoneri need to straighten out a less-than-ideal situation in the league and a complicated one in the Champions League.
As a result, it's clear that this is a critical run of games for Paulo Fonseca (with matches against Napoli and Real Madrid also on the horizon): if there are no substantial improvements in the team's play and attitude, his position could become increasingly at risk.
For this reason, Repubblica in its sports section today does not mince words, with the headline:
"Fonseca Trembles."
In fact, the fate of the Portuguese coach is similar to that of Roma's coach: "The Milan manager and Juric are playing for their future." According to the Italian newspaper, neither coach can rely too much on teams that have shown limitations at the individual level.
