Milan, Paolo Di Canio stands with Paulo Fonseca and berates Rafael Leao
Paolo Di Canio backs Paulo Fonseca’s choices and berates Rafael Leao
Speaking to "Sky Sport Club", former West Ham striker Paolo Di Canio, among other topics, è returned to Milan's success at home with Udinese and Paulo Fonseca's decisions to keep Rafael Leao, Fikayo Tomori and Tammy Abraham out of the starting 11.
"Fonseca had a burst of pride and took a risk by betting, però on players he knew would give their lives for the jersey. It è went well for him and when you behave like that; you show that you have control of the locker room and above all you bring the players on your side. Also because he didné t play with kids, but with players of the caliber of Okafor and Chukwueze. He gave a signal and in my opinion he played it very well. I don't think in terms of the Scudetto, but as far as the environment is concerned I think Milan is the team that comes out best from this day" debuted the former West Ham striker.
"Fonseca’s choices should not be interpreted as a rejection of Leao. He has tried to be a coach and more than anyone else has tried to push Rafa to give more, even trying to empower him with the captain’s armband. He, for his part, threw barbs through the last interview upon his return from the national team and this è was disrespectful not to the coach, but to the environment and the team. He's a player of great quality and needs to be recovered, so he too must get in line" added the Rome native.
"Paulo must feel the trust of societyà he cannot be left alone. We have heard from Ibrahimovic that è he is the boss, but he is not showing it. He is not transmitting his values, as he did when he was a player" concluded Paolo Di Canio.
