CorSera: Balance to avoid utopia – Milan reach early crossroads under Fonseca

AC Milan welcome Juventus to San Siro tomorrow night as the two biggest clubs in Serie A renew hostilities, and Paulo Fonseca will hope his side can begin to show some consistency.

This morning’s edition of Corriere della Sera (via MilanNews) writes how Milan are looking for a semblance of balance to their performances, having alternated highs like the Inter and Real Madrid games with too many lows.

The Portuguese coach does not lack clear ideas nor is he unwilling to meet challenges head on, given those are the qualities needed to win the derby and to emerge victorious from the Santiago Bernabeu.

In addition to the results in big games, it seems like Fonseca got the handling of Rafael Leao right. He benched him for three straights games in the league and he has emerged with a period of great form.

In the end, what is missing is always the same thing, which is the ability and the desire to maintain high levels even when the opponent and the occasion are less stimulating.

Against the Bianconeri, Fonseca’s men will be called upon to produce a memorable night in order to reaffirm their qualities and re-enter the Scudetto race. Otherwise it will all remain a utopia.
