Fabio Capello harshly criticizes Milan and Emerson Royal

During an interview given to the microphones of the "Gazzetta dello Sport", former AC Milan coach Fabio Capello bluntly analyzed the Rossoneri&#39s heavy knockout in the big match of the 15th day of the championship against Gian Piero Gasperini's Atalanta.

"Milan did too little, especially after Pulisic's injury. It seems to me that it was really the wrong match setup. Maignan, the goalkeeper, played more balls than many of his teammates. That is not good. That is not è ball possession, but a waste of time and a symptom of low confidence. The Rossoneri were slow, quitters and kicked at goal only twice in the whole game. When there was a chance to trigger Leao deep, they always came back. You can&#39t play like that,&#quot; began the meneghini&#39s former coach.

"Then there are the usual mistakes, even of individuals: Theo erred on De Ketelaere’s goal, but on Lookman’s decisive goal Emerson Royal l'really messed up. The Brazilian should be repeated one of the basic principles of soccer, namely that in the penalty area, especially on a set kick, you look at the man and not the ball, and instead Ademola caught him from behind mocking Maignan" continued the former Juventus coach.

"This defeat è heavy for Milan. I do not say it, the standings prove it. Fonseca è 12 points behind Gasperini, but more than the distance from the top è that from the Champions zone to worry. It&#39s easy to repeat that it&#39s still early, but by dint of saying it&#39s early, then it&#39s late, especially if Serie A doesn&#39t bring five teams into the most important Cup like last year's, added the former England coach.

"The success over AC Milan confirms what is good è seen so far, Gasperini’s team è strong, but above all è convinced of what they do and playing with frothing at the mouth. The most glaring example è is the first goal, where De Ketelaere jumps high and goes for the ball, while Theo has a passive attitude. This è the perfect picture of the difference there è currently between the two teams. In terms of the Scudetto I think Inter is still the favorite, but Gasp can definitely play his cards. In addition, Atalanta can count on one of the best midfielders in the world such as Ederson, who è space for the ability to combine running, physicality, technique and intelligence" commented Fabio Capello.
