Fonseca on Milan derby win: “We played with the same structure”

In a surprising turn of events, Milan emerged victorious in the highly anticipated derby against Inter, marking a significant milestone for the team. Paulo Fonseca, Milan’s head coach, shared his thoughts on the match in a post-game interview with Dazn. Fonseca began by emphasizing the importance and rarity of this win: “Milan hasn’t won this match in a long time, and tonight we truly deserved it.” He went on to highlight the exceptional performance of his team, stating, “I can’t recall a team that has managed to create as many problems for Inter as we did today.” When questioned about potential tactical changes, Fonseca was quick to clarify: “No, we didn’t change anything.

Milan and Inter scrap latest plan to solve their San Siro saga

AC Milan and city rivals Inter have rejected a plan to renovate their Stadio Meazza home at San Siro but revived proposals to build a new joint stadium in the same area. The move is the latest twist in a saga involving the two Serie A clubs and local authorities for the past five years. Mayor Giuseppe Sala said: “After an in-depth analysis the clubs concluded that the (San Siro) stadium cannot be revamped in an affordable way … they don’t think it is feasible.

Milan offered hope to land their top target from Monaco

Paulo Fonseca was clear about whom Milan want to bolster their midfield, Youssouf Fofana, and Monaco are starting to be more open about his departure. Recent reports suggested the Rossoneri could wait until 2025 to scoop him up for free. That’d be highly detrimental for the Ligue 1 side. His director Thiago Scuro, who was very stern in recent weeks, spoke with L’Equipe (via Fantacalcio). “Fofana wasn’t called up for the last friendly because, if he has no intention of staying, it makes no sense for him to be involved in the preparation. We discussed it internally and backed this choice. I’ve had many conversations with him last season. He clearly voiced his desire to leave this summer. "In his opinion, his cycle has ended. We must respect it. It wouldn’t be logical to keep ahold of som...
