During the usual appointment with ‘Il Calcio è Servito’ on SkySport 24, the journalist Paolo Assogna talked about Milan focusing in particular on future from the Rossoneri bench and on the perhaps always too controversial work of Stefano Pioli. These are his statements.
“In my opinion Fonseca can give continuity to the excellent work that Stefano Pioli has done. Then we have said it many times, cycles end, there is probably no longer that empathy between team and coach, club, but it seems like the natural end to me of a cycle that worked very well. I honestly don’t understand all the negative judgment that the Milan environment gives to Stefano Pioli. The Scudetto was won in a very, very original way, in my opinion, absolutely above expectations, the quarter-final (of the Champions League) with Napoli beaten. This year, Milan are second in the standings. I absolutely want to escape the mentality of whoever wins is strong and the others are all fools I believe that by analyzing this cycle of Pioli we must give a positive opinion with great objectivity and serenity. Then I repeat, the cycles end, I can understand that perhaps there is no longer any incentive to want to be together with each other, and this can also be understood from the behavior of the people. champions of Milan in the most important matches, that this empathy is probably over. But something has been built in terms of mentality, I always remember that for a series of episodes Milan went out of a very difficult Champions League group, let’s always remember this, confirming that ‘it is a European game mentality that always produces results. I believe that Paolo Fonseca can represent an excellent element of continuity with the work done by Pioli.”
