CorSera: The three players Fonseca is most unhappy with and the reasons

Anyone who thought that Paulo Fonseca would take a backwards step after his outburst against the team on Wednesday will have to think again.

According to Corriere della Sera (via MilanNews), the Portuguese coach hasn’t had any second thoughts. In fact, yesterday he reiterated the same concept at Milanello when training resumed: the team need to give more in training and in matches, especially some players.

Three players in particular have ended up in Fonseca’s crosshairs, with whom the Milan coach has already had a meeting yesterday. The first is Theo Hernandez, unrecognisable for weeks and a distant relative of the devastating full-back of the past seasons.

The other two are Davide Calabria and Fikayo Tomori, who have both lost their starting places on the pitch this year. The captain – after being taken off – ignored Fonseca, while the English centre-back received a yellow card while warming up and will miss the Girona game on 22 January.

With those harsh words, Fonseca wanted to remind the players in front of their responsibilities and now expects a different attitude on and off the pitch. For this reason he opted for this public outburst which was a choice as courageous as it was risky.

Nonetheless, the former Lille boss is convinced that his outburst will achieve its desired effect. While waiting to understand if this will be the case, today the Rossoneri will begin preparing for Sunday’s match against Genoa, with some surprise exclusions possible.
