AC Milan's new coach will definitely try to make AC Milan perform well even in pre-season. Because in reality he is trying to gain the trust of everyone at the club. Well, this is necessary to build the players' confidence in the instructions from the coach. Good results from pre-season can show that Paulo Fonseca can indeed be trusted. And when all the players have high hopes for the coach, a harmonious situation will exist within the club. And this will make the team's performance better. I think Paulo Fonseca is building on this while testing out the strategies and players he wants to use in the real season. Real Madrid and Man city are in a condition where they don't need to show their full strength. They just want to assess their players and test out some new compositions and strategies without caring about winning or losing.

Well I agree with this. And Man City or Real Madrid are not serious about winning matches in pre-season. They have more important things they have to do in pre-season games. Namely finding good players and several compositions that are suitable for use in the coming season. Every team that has a new coach will always do everything to the maximum even if it is in pre-season. Just look at the results shown by Napoli which are the same as Milan. They also showed positive results with the many wins they obtained in pre-season. Even though yesterday Napoli lost in pre-season to Girona. But in other pre-season matches, Napoli also always won. Just like what was achieved by AC Milan, which will also start the season with a new coach. Even one of the premier league teams, namely Liverpool, and its new coach also showed the same thing in the pre-season match. Namely, they achieved victory after victory in pre-season matches. So I agree that a new coach in a team seems to have to show their quality even if it is in a pre-season match.
