In pre-season, AC Milan was able to beat big teams such as Madrid, Barcelona and Man City. But that's just pre-season and the real performance is what can be seen now at the start of this season. But if they are able to play as well as they did in pre-season then AC Milan could be quite a scary team this season. but I doubt they will recover quickly. but yeah let's wait until this season almost reaches the middle of the season. because maybe Fonseca really needs more time to build this squad so that it has much better performance and wins lots of matches.
It seems that Fonseca favors the 4-2-3-1 formation in every match that Milan plays. He focuses more on ball possession in their strong midfield. When they are in an attack-building scheme, they will only leave 2 defenders. While in the middle, they also often lose the ball when building attacks.
Fonseca will not get much time to build the team. If Milan still does not get positive results from the next matches, it could be bad for Fonseca. There are even rumors that Fonseca is required to win when facing Venezia in the next match in Serie A.
Well, Paulo Fonseca seems to continue to use this formation. Although I don't see this formation as a suitable formation. Pioli actually uses this formation quite often, but at that time AC Milan always experienced defeat or bad results when using this formation. But in pre-season this formation seems to be working well and AC Milan is always ahead. But it seems like that's just false hope for this team. Because in the actual season this formation was still not effective enough and only resulted in this team getting more draws.
Fonseca seems to be required to win the next match. And if successful then he will definitely get a little trust back from the club. But AC Milan is usually a club that is patient enough to give new coaches opportunities or time. But if the results are too bad then there will most likely be a change of coach again at this club.
