In response to Pulisic being less involved today, it seemed like every time he had the ball 2-3 defenders were swarming him. Teams are afraid of him now. Meanwhile, Fonseca seems to have found the ideal formation and Pulisic still scored.
@@orangedude000 I agree and he's probably gassed he does a lot of work off the ball. It's good people are swarming him because it opens up the left side for leao and if they go after leao it opens up pulisic.
For me, Pulisic is always involved, even if he doesn’t score or not. He always tries to make an impact, to get the team going. And like you said, others are afraid of what he can do. Especially after seeing him against Inter, or how he was the only one to score against Liverpool.
I disagree, if you watched the match you saw that he got the ball and tried to advance with it, there would be the pass he could make to Rejinders or others and he would not instead he would try to dribble through, reach within the defenders spehere of influence and get the ball taken. He didn’t have a great game today but that’s okay. He is doing very well
@@Christian-rz9it Well Pulisic tries to break through, to make an impact. Because if he doesn't try than no one will. We've seen it several times already in games which Milan lost. It's a risky move, yes, but Pulisic has pulled it off before. With the defense focused on him, the field shifts, allowing Milan to press forward.
Pulisic not showing up in big games was always nonsense. I've followed him since Dortmund. He performed in big games there and at Chelsea. He won champions league with Chelsea, go watch the semi final game during that run. He had good stints at Chelsea but the management didn't rate him. It wasn't his fault. They labeled him injury prone, and he was not more prone than Kante, mason mount, and others. I'm glad he is doing well at Milan.
Against Lecce it is the first time in years that Leao has committed himself at that level. I've never seen him press, I've always seen him pretend to press, but yesterday there was real effort.
@@salvocampoli I've only started following the team last season. Frankly I didn't like how leao plays he always seemed disinterested but today he played well and showed why he's the main player in the team.
@@stein1835 Leao makes everyone angry because it's like seeing a world-class talent perform at the goal of what he could due to lack of effort. And think that despite his lack of effort he contributes to at least 30 goals per season, imagine if he put in the effort... However, I tell you that I have never seen him work as hard as he did yesterday, especially in pressing and defensive returns. Bear in mind that I have seen all of Leao's matches, so I can assure you that he has never been so busy. About where are you and how old are you?
Pulisic has always seen the game differently. His movement and instincts have always been his best strength. It’s all paying off now. So happy for him! He’s also always been a big game player. Last year was an outlier. He always steps up in big games for the US, and for Chelsea (ucl semi vs Madrid cup final vs Liverpool).
Pulisic is at 5 goals & 2 assists on the season all comps! I guess you got the 4 & 2 for Serie A which is still good. Seems this season Pulisic is a man on a mission I hope he & Milan wins a trophy this season🙏🏽
I want to thank you for being so level headed and objective with your takes on the games. It’s nice to see a content creator stick to their guns and say something positive about the management. We as fans need to give the organization more time to create a finished product on the field. Off the field the business side is a complete success and can’t be argued. They deserve to be questioned on many decisions but I’ve been thinking for weeks that Morata and Abraham haven’t just brought some underrated skill, they have brought heart and grinta which we lack so much. The videos of Tammy and Morata on the sideline at the end of the Inter game made me know those are very good signings which I know will only get better. I think the management has real belief in 16yr old Camarda and I think they wanted to find a stop gap answer for that until he proves his worth or we need to move on. I belief they found two great answers to that. I do believe they missed the mark on Emerson. I don’t like seeing Pulisic forced inside allowing Emerson to have the whole wing to himself. I like Pulisic outside coming inside not starting inside contested and congested. As fans have belief and don’t get too high or too low. Also back Leao with everything you got because his down year is other players career years. He just needs to show more heart and he will find it.
I really liked the way Leao played today. Wasn't perfect, but he showed the effort I've been wanting to see. That's about the only thing I've ever criticized him for. Give him the armband every match if that's what it takes! Can't wait for Tuesday
This is why you people should listen to Rohit and BE PAITENT Stop being known as the most toxic fanbase online its also ridiculous to think that 'oh we are better off without Leao' its not that easy to replace him, Milan doesnt have Madrid's financial strength that we can just buy a 100m winger to replace him
Great commentary! Leao's exquisite pass to Hernandez was world class. (It reminded me of some of Angel Di Maria's long pinpoint passes.) Have always enjoyed the passing aspect of the game, which is indicative of excellent teamwork. The defense seemed more solid the last two games. Looks like the players are " hungry" to show they can win it all this season.
i like the new 422 formation but i feel like our bench isnt build for that formation so it becomes awkward when u want to sub in players imo we need to buy a defensive midfileder to close out games
Your right, in one hand 442 ease our depleted midfielder since we only use 2 and Bennacer is currently injured. But it took a lot from our striker, We only have Jovic, and maybe Camarda on the bench, and none of them have even half the grint Morata has.
Yeah it was awkward, Emerson came forward the whole time but passed always backward to central midfield not pushing the attack while Chuckwe always pivoted from the midfield.. the team seemed so off when Pullisic and Morata where swapped out.
@@mattsmith1126yeah the problem is planning, we haven’t bought bench players for this one, we could implode late season if not addressed or if the benching doesn’t step up
I'm actually very impressed with Fonseca, to me it seems as if he is playing chess vs. when others wanted to fire him. The result vs Inter was well deserved, I also loved how he benched Theo and Leaõ he fired them up. He holds everyone accountable and the players Milan picked up in the Summer have been incredible. He's the real deal to me, this team will not let complacency seep in, too many leaders. 💪👍❤️
In terms of goal contribution in a season, Leao always delivers. The reason for the criticism is that a player with his skills and strength should be a leader, and he's not. If the game doesn't go well, he's not gonna step up and carry the team like stars like Kakà or Sheva used to. Also, he has rarely been playing well in big games. Yesterday he did a lot of defensive work, a lot more than usual, and that is good news at least.
Management did a really good job, we need to give Fonseca time, never questioned them really. The team is looking very good from my pov, yeah a bit harsh start of the season, but all of ours title contenders rivals had a hard time, so what I expect is all of us, the Rossoneri, to stand by the team and the project and stop hating so much when we have a bad period, but then when we play good all of us to start cheering, Stand by the team and FORZA MILAN SEMPRE.
Leao always reminds me of this: The key to success is to never compare yourself to others. Others will do that all the time, but YOU should only compare yourself to your past self. If you're not better than you were before, you have work to do. Period.
As for Puli not talking much... Fonseca never said he wasn't a leader. He *said* you have to kind of "push a button" to get him to talk. That said, Fonseca may be doing just that because at halftime as Pulisic and Leao were walking off the pitch together Pulisic was talking to him about something and Rafa didn't exactly look like he appreciated it... he looked a bit defensive. But then the tension seemed to ease and they continued talking. So Puli may be trying to get more vocal.
impressed by the rotating captaincy move by our coach. Also, yesterday's commentator (Manuel Pascali) wasn't a former Inter player - the one you were (incorrectly) referring to is Lorenzo Amoruso.
As a milanista from Milan , born and raised, this guy speaks a lot of shit. I’m so sorry for Who doesn’t understand italian bcs you’d know what’s AC MILAN. Brother this guy is telling his opinion about Milan , the real supporters that speak facts are italian that don’t speak english.
Popped out bcs I’m a milanista and especially I’m a bandito so Milan for me is 24/7. Instead of answering like this go look for . A guy saying Pulisic must be a captain even before maignan or Gabbia is hilarious . That’s just one example
@@ahmedd27 I do have Italian friends who support Milan and often their thoughts are similar to what Kush or I think. Differences of opinion are okay - Kush puts in hours of work to make these videos and he does it on a consistent basis. So to trash it by saying 'he speaks a lot of shot' is being too unkind. Milan has a global fan following unlike some of the more predominantly Italian follower clubs such as Lazio. il mondo è uno
I’m not a hater of him btw I hope he gets better news to tell the foreigner supporters but as for now bro he’s not saying the things we want you guys to know. As for now we supporters ( bandito curva sud) just support the team, the management is shit and “our” president talking shit about us is hilarious. We went through a lot since 2012 and after sacking pioli and Maldini we wanted people at least better than them but no. Anyway bro it was good discussing
Milan under Piolo needed 90+ minutes in order to score 2 goals at best, Milan under Fonseca can absolutelly destroy the opposition in 5 minutes of relentless pressing. Still, the drawback is the defense, been so offensive tends to leave holes in which enemy teams can take advantages during counters, but so far, I am liking this bold super offensive playstyle, if Tammy had a better aim, that guy would have like 5 goals scored by now.
I was one of the ppl that criticised him. It did not come from a place of sell him or even he is not scoring a lot. Stats do not tell all of the game even Benzema talked about it. Ppl just read of stats and think that a players plays well. I am sorry that is not true. I am not expecting Rafa to run himself into the ground to track back. No, but closing players down and closing passing lanes down is a must. We are a good team that will be facing great teams in the champions league so you are going to have to have team effort. He needs to help the team more and I hope that this is the beginning of it because i loved what i saw
The thing about Leao is that he is capable of topping the world not only serie a, he uses 30-40% of his potential. Look at Morata’s pressing vs Leao’s. He got better in the second half and actually tried to press
Kush, Bro you are doing an amazing Job with this channel. Pulisic is currently our most effective player so far, Leao needs to spend more time practicing how to shoot. Expectations are too much because of his talent. Morata and Abraham are sacrificing a lot for the team, We need them together if we are going to do anything this season. I am happy Fonseca has abandoned passing out from the back, Our Center backs cant pass out from the back except Malick Thiaw but he isnt very good at defending. WE still need a DM, Fofana still seems average to me, Also Kalulu should have stayed, Emerson has not convinced me. But we are building a very good team Forza Milan
He is getting better, but those yellow card he got need to be stopped in the future 😅. We only have him now, since the calabria injured and other one is Terraciono who feels like a lose gamble everytime he played.
Love that Leao stat. But he def misses chances he needs to be scoring. That’s the frustration. Can be the difference of a lot of pts or qualifying next round of CL. I want to see stats on contributions leading to our team getting points just for curiosity. Leao gets same or more chances than puli. Puli more clinical in front of net for sure. Leao can be much better in front of net and that’s what ppl see.
I think the problem with Laeo is that yes he has the same goal contributions as Pulisic and tied for most in Serie A. However, Pulisic does all that while carrying the right side defensive. If Leao just put in a little more effort. He doesnthave to be a monster but he needs to have a presence in our final 3rd. He doesn't have to do any crunching tackles, but when we are being countered hard and he's in general range he needs to haul his ass back to at least break the numerical advantage. After we get set back up he can slink back to the shadows. But within 5 seconds of him losing the ball he needs to try everything he can to get the ball back. I see Pulisic on losing the ball immediately tries to win the ball back. He doesn't mope on the ground fix his cleats smile for the camera has dinner with his girlfriend and then finally tries to get involved. Leao talent wise is by far the best player on the pitch every single game, but he just turns off a little too much. I find myself grinning whenever Leao gets in a groove and makes defenders look stupid
The greenbox for management is fair. I'd add they didn't bend to the press and fans call for firing Fonseca. Great match, everything seems to fall into place. well done boys!
Milan must continue the momentum against Leverkusen. Need consistency in Champions League as well. I always believed in Fonseca and his ideas. Let's hope he excels this team. Forza Milan 🔥
Management gets NO GREEN BOX. All compliments should go to Fonseca and his players. Management bought those players late and that affected Fonseca's preseason preparations and nearly cost him his job as they were about to make him the scapegoat because Milan's poor start. Management is trash
Yeah, Pulisic leads by example... I think with the USA, he's a bit more comfortable speaking a little bit more but, hes just a quiet kid that puts in his work, and that's ok.
I don’t think he will give Pulisic the captain armband anytime soon. I say that for the reason that, while Leao are Theo are our lead players, they both arrived at the same time and, apart from Calabria, are the longest serving players on our team, so their captaincy still falls within how we choose captains. Pulisic is only in his second season
@@mattsmith1126 Bud, I don’t think he needs the band either. I was responding to Kush’s comment that Fonseca would possibly pass the captaincy to Pulisic in the future to try to get him out of his shell
It looked like the team’s plan was to go down the left flank from the beginning. Given that it made sense giving Leão the captains arm band and he did play a lot harder today.
The comparison between reactions to Puli’s and Leao’s goal contributions misses one super important element: utilization. Last year the ball is going to the left like 80% of the time. Lots to squandered opportunities by leao/ way less efficient. And I’m not saying that isn’t the smart strategy. Theo and leao are top players. But utilization relevant to the comparison
I thought it was crazy to value Abraham at 22M so I'm glad they didn't pay that, but a loan with an option seems ok, now the dry loan is going to come back and bite us because Milan is improving his value again, maybe even Premier League teams next year will try to sign him and compete with us. I've heard people criticize him for not scoring, but for me that double forward is the reason the team has settled down defensively, as both of them press the other team high and make the opponent offensive transition slower
I'm not sure why we're casting Puli as a hustle player or an effort player, he has world class dribbling ability, along with burst and pace and agility. He must be amongst the Serie A leaders in golazos over the last year
it might be againts 2 relegation battle teams .. but last seasons, we also struggle againts these teams .. specially when the next game is a 'big' game ..
Like hell we were sleeping for 36 minutes & for the last 10 minutes of the first half we woke up & Lecce went to sleep or something, but fu*k that period of time was brutal
B. Leverkusen only lost to Atalanta last season and haven't lost yet this season, so it won't be easy, but Milan is superior to Leverkusen in terms of talent and quality. They have a great game, thanks to the coach they have had since last year, but if Milan play with the same formation used in the derby, i.e. everyone tight together and starting off quickly, we can win. we have the talent to win with anyone with the players we have in front of us. Force.
Leao contributing isn't the issue. Yeah, he quietly has his numbers, but the issue is he doesn't do anything in the game if people aren't getting him the ball. Look at Pulisic even today. He constantly made runs and wasn't getting the ball, so what did he do? He played hard on defense. He always finds a way to be in the game. That's the issue. Sure, Leao looked better today, but let's see him do it consistently.
I hope that Fonseca soon understands that this team has built over the years a thought for the counterattack, so we cannot dominate the game and always keep the ball, we don't have those characteristics, we don't have setters. We have players who are very fast and very strong in space, but if you block their space by holding the ball too much (as happened to us against Lecce before the first goal), you are damaging players like Theo and Leao. yesterday's 2nd goal is an example of how Milan must play to make the most of the players they have: passing the ball quickly and going deep. These are the characteristics of many of our players recruited in recent years.
Your graphic is off… leao is one spot below pulisic and one other person in goal contributions… also when you get the #10 jersey then expectations are going too be sky high and if he doesn’t want those expectation then he can give up the jersey and switch numbers
I have a theory that once Zlatan arrived he wanted to sign players that wanted to wear the badge. He wants players that fight and defend the history of the club. All the signings regardless of how they started, have put in crazy effort for the team. They are passionate to play for the club, that can make up for a lot when the skill needs to be developed. I’ll add on I am a huge Fofana fan and I know he started slow but he will become the best ball recovery midfielder in the league in due time.
Will need to see if this formation will work out in the long run because we don't have much depth on the subs. Like every season we always have had injury problem's.
We don't have the same definition of "top of Serie A" Regardless, happy to see Milan actually playing well. It looks like there's gonna be real competition in the top spots 4 this season!
Leao has the most potential of any player in the Serie A. Pulisic is currently the best player because of his off the ball skills. Its a good problem for Milan to have. Its 100% because of Frank Lampard. He taught Pulisic how to run at the goal and get good positioning.
As a Galaxy fan is what Greg Vanney had done with Gabriel Pec. Pec used to play more like Chukweze, now he plays more like Pulisic. And Pecs goal contributions have skyrocketed
🤔I wouldn’t say that. Christian already had the skills when it came to positional awareness. I would say that Frank helped Christian develop/refined it and understand it more.
Leao looked very different effort wise this game so maybe the benching and the fans criticism is waking him up. I don't think we should fall back into not expecting theses higher levels from Raffa. He needs to keep the fire so maybe the fans do to.
And have to credit Abraham for initiating the press esp after we scored that 1st goal. And personally I will never give credit to management. Our team has been playing better in spite of what management has done to our club.
Definitely,and I say even more but with this management with their miserly attitude will just stretch this negotiation until is a breakdown n the player just wants to leave on a free now. U want results n performance but fail to give what is due the players that provide that. Make it make sense
Yes we're improving, but there's still a lot to prove my man, we'll see what we'll do againt leverkusen, the first 30 minutes of the game we could have conceded a goal, with better teams than leece, we still suffer when we don't have the ball, it feels like we can't get it back from the oppononets.
Ac milans biggest problem for years is build round champions like mike,theo,rafa stop buying lots of average players......Come on rafa you can be one of the best sort yourself out.....rafa and theo are the best left wing in the world..
i will start this by saying leao was actually good and even tracked back at times today even tho he was still walking for the majority of the game but why would leao get praise for his g/a contribution he literally has the ball for the overwelming majority of the time in his feet when you get the ball 30 times per game on your feet and you deliver 1 assist you are a terrible contributer on the other side pulisic is getting the ball 15 times and contributes the same thats why he takes a lot of credit that along with the fact that he actually runs the whole game and also does not have a theo behind him but a calabria and emerson leao should have at least 6 goals this season already with the easy goals he should had scored especially in the first 2 games even against inter instead he is still at just 1 and at the end of the day thats the problem he has the talent to be a top 5 player in the world and if we are honest he should have already become that he is 25 he is entering his prime and he gonna ask for a salary of 6+ million minumun and he still performs like a guy with the tactical ability of a 16 year old and he is extremely inneficient aswell its like shooting 5/30 in a basketball game and getting praised
1. You are gaslighting everyone. That 30 contribution stat was the same stat before the last game. Since then, pulisic has had 2 additional goals and 1 assist. Leao had an assist. So, the pulisic is leading the league in controbutions. Not leao. 2. Leao had a much better game than he has had this year. that is because he actually played defense. The issue with leao is that he thinks his only job is to stand there and wait for the ball. He acts like he is too good to play defense. Like he is so great. He isnt. Modern football requires EVERYONE to play defense. EVERYONE to hustle. Leao has never been that player. So when he isnt scoring, assisting or helping out defensively, when he is in a funk you start to ask, "wtf are you adding to the team." Morata and tammy arent scoring but they hustle. They play for the team. That make me as a fan value them more than leao. But if leao gives the same effort even when not scoring, he is earning his spot on the field. If he isnt, then he isnt earning it. If u say he is, then you are fanboying and cant be taken serious
@@TerryEnoch I hear you. I respect his work rate and the opportunities and chances he creates. I think he’s an important player to the team! It’s just so frustrating seeing him miss easy opportunities
Keep in mind we have 3 wins in 7 games this season..don't throw flowers for a garbage management yet. In the end we will finish top 4, get kicked out of Chanpions and Coppa and everyone will complain again.

I think Fonzie will use this formation one or two more times and then shelve it for when he needs it.

Rafa is and will be gold. In the right mindset NO ONE in Serie A can stop him. Our boy is blessed. ❤️🖤♾️
Leao always reminds me of this: The key to success is to never compare yourself to others. Others will do that all the time, but YOU should only compare yourself to your past self. If you're not better than you were before, you have work to do. Period.
As for Puli not talking much... Fonseca never said he wasn't a leader. He *said* you have to kind of "push a button" to get him to talk. That said, Fonseca may be doing just that because at halftime as Pulisic and Leao were walking off the pitch together Pulisic was talking to him about something and Rafa didn't exactly look like he appreciated it... he looked a bit defensive. But then the tension seemed to ease and they continued talking. So Puli may be trying to get more vocal.
I totally like the stuff you said about Fonseca and leadership
High quality content kush, keep it coming! 👍
It’s not just expectations. Leao might be getting his numbers still but he’s not dominating games or playing defense
I hope we lift Supercoppa and Coppa Italia at the very least 💪❤️🖤
I like the addition of the colored lights for the boxes!
impressed by the rotating captaincy move by our coach. Also, yesterday's commentator (Manuel Pascali) wasn't a former Inter player - the one you were (incorrectly) referring to is Lorenzo Amoruso.
As a milanista from Milan , born and raised, this guy speaks a lot of shit. I’m so sorry for Who doesn’t understand italian bcs you’d know what’s AC MILAN. Brother this guy is telling his opinion about Milan , the real supporters that speak facts are italian that don’t speak english.
@@ahmedd27 if he is so bad.. why do you come and listen to him here :)
Popped out bcs I’m a milanista and especially I’m a bandito so Milan for me is 24/7. Instead of answering like this go look for . A guy saying Pulisic must be a captain even before maignan or Gabbia is hilarious . That’s just one example
@@ahmedd27 I do have Italian friends who support Milan and often their thoughts are similar to what Kush or I think. Differences of opinion are okay - Kush puts in hours of work to make these videos and he does it on a consistent basis. So to trash it by saying 'he speaks a lot of shot' is being too unkind. Milan has a global fan following unlike some of the more predominantly Italian follower clubs such as Lazio. il mondo è uno
I’m not a hater of him btw I hope he gets better news to tell the foreigner supporters but as for now bro he’s not saying the things we want you guys to know. As for now we supporters ( bandito curva sud) just support the team, the management is shit and “our” president talking shit about us is hilarious. We went through a lot since 2012 and after sacking pioli and Maldini we wanted people at least better than them but no. Anyway bro it was good discussing
Milan under Piolo needed 90+ minutes in order to score 2 goals at best, Milan under Fonseca can absolutelly destroy the opposition in 5 minutes of relentless pressing. Still, the drawback is the defense, been so offensive tends to leave holes in which enemy teams can take advantages during counters, but so far, I am liking this bold super offensive playstyle, if Tammy had a better aim, that guy would have like 5 goals scored by now.
I was one of the ppl that criticised him. It did not come from a place of sell him or even he is not scoring a lot. Stats do not tell all of the game even Benzema talked about it. Ppl just read of stats and think that a players plays well. I am sorry that is not true. I am not expecting Rafa to run himself into the ground to track back. No, but closing players down and closing passing lanes down is a must. We are a good team that will be facing great teams in the champions league so you are going to have to have team effort. He needs to help the team more and I hope that this is the beginning of it because i loved what i saw
The thing about Leao is that he is capable of topping the world not only serie a, he uses 30-40% of his potential. Look at Morata’s pressing vs Leao’s. He got better in the second half and actually tried to press
First time I have noticed this but love how the light behind you goes 'green' as soon as you start talking about the 'green boxes' 😄
Kush, Bro you are doing an amazing Job with this channel.
Pulisic is currently our most effective player so far, Leao needs to spend more time practicing how to shoot. Expectations are too much because of his talent.
Morata and Abraham are sacrificing a lot for the team, We need them together if we are going to do anything this season.
I am happy Fonseca has abandoned passing out from the back, Our Center backs cant pass out from the back except Malick Thiaw but he isnt very good at defending. WE still need a DM, Fofana still seems average to me, Also Kalulu should have stayed, Emerson has not convinced me.
But we are building a very good team Forza Milan
Nice that Royal wasn't mentioned for playing poorly, the right side looked decent.
He is getting better, but those yellow card he got need to be stopped in the future 😅. We only have him now, since the calabria injured and other one is Terraciono who feels like a lose gamble everytime he played.
I just love watching your videos after every game
Love that Leao stat. But he def misses chances he needs to be scoring. That’s the frustration. Can be the difference of a lot of pts or qualifying next round of CL. I want to see stats on contributions leading to our team getting points just for curiosity. Leao gets same or more chances than puli. Puli more clinical in front of net for sure. Leao can be much better in front of net and that’s what ppl see.
Coaching great players can be a daunting task. Fonzy gets 2 thumbs up 👍👍😎😎😎 A+A+💯💯💯
I think the problem with Laeo is that yes he has the same goal contributions as Pulisic and tied for most in Serie A.
However, Pulisic does all that while carrying the right side defensive. If Leao just put in a little more effort. He doesnthave to be a monster but he needs to have a presence in our final 3rd. He doesn't have to do any crunching tackles, but when we are being countered hard and he's in general range he needs to haul his ass back to at least break the numerical advantage. After we get set back up he can slink back to the shadows.
But within 5 seconds of him losing the ball he needs to try everything he can to get the ball back.
I see Pulisic on losing the ball immediately tries to win the ball back. He doesn't mope on the ground fix his cleats smile for the camera has dinner with his girlfriend and then finally tries to get involved.
Leao talent wise is by far the best player on the pitch every single game, but he just turns off a little too much.
I find myself grinning whenever Leao gets in a groove and makes defenders look stupid
Actually Pulisic has 6 contributions and Leao has 4.
The greenbox for management is fair. I'd add they didn't bend to the press and fans call for firing Fonseca. Great match, everything seems to fall into place. well done boys!
Milan must continue the momentum against Leverkusen. Need consistency in Champions League as well. I always believed in Fonseca and his ideas. Let's hope he excels this team. Forza Milan 🔥
Management gets NO GREEN BOX. All compliments should go to Fonseca and his players. Management bought those players late and that affected Fonseca's preseason preparations and nearly cost him his job as they were about to make him the scapegoat because Milan's poor start.
Management is trash
1000%
Yeah, Pulisic leads by example... I think with the USA, he's a bit more comfortable speaking a little bit more but, hes just a quiet kid that puts in his work, and that's ok.
I don’t think he will give Pulisic the captain armband anytime soon. I say that for the reason that, while Leao are Theo are our lead players, they both arrived at the same time and, apart from Calabria, are the longest serving players on our team, so their captaincy still falls within how we choose captains. Pulisic is only in his second season
Pulisic doesn't need the band. He needs to concentrate on scoring
@@mattsmith1126 Bud, I don’t think he needs the band either. I was responding to Kush’s comment that Fonseca would possibly pass the captaincy to Pulisic in the future to try to get him out of his shell
It looked like the team’s plan was to go down the left flank from the beginning. Given that it made sense giving Leão the captains arm band and he did play a lot harder today.
Love the clean sheet. If our back line starts to gel, Rossoneri can win the scudetto. Rafa much better today 😀
The comparison between reactions to Puli’s and Leao’s goal contributions misses one super important element: utilization. Last year the ball is going to the left like 80% of the time. Lots to squandered opportunities by leao/ way less efficient.
And I’m not saying that isn’t the smart strategy. Theo and leao are top players. But utilization relevant to the comparison
GOOD!! Great analysis...i'll come back!!!
Milan bought 3 leaders this season Morata,Abraham & Fofana
I thought it was crazy to value Abraham at 22M so I'm glad they didn't pay that, but a loan with an option seems ok, now the dry loan is going to come back and bite us because Milan is improving his value again, maybe even Premier League teams next year will try to sign him and compete with us.
I've heard people criticize him for not scoring, but for me that double forward is the reason the team has settled down defensively, as both of them press the other team high and make the opponent offensive transition slower
Pulisic has been Milan’s best player over the past year
We need that Rafa and that Theo every single match!
I am just happy we are scoring from set pieces again after several seasons not being able to do so
I'm not sure why we're casting Puli as a hustle player or an effort player, he has world class dribbling ability, along with burst and pace and agility. He must be amongst the Serie A leaders in golazos over the last year
it might be againts 2 relegation battle teams .. but last seasons, we also struggle againts these teams .. specially when the next game is a 'big' game ..
Like hell we were sleeping for 36 minutes & for the last 10 minutes of the first half we woke up & Lecce went to sleep or something, but fu*k that period of time was brutal
B. Leverkusen only lost to Atalanta last season and haven't lost yet this season, so it won't be easy, but Milan is superior to Leverkusen in terms of talent and quality. They have a great game, thanks to the coach they have had since last year, but if Milan play with the same formation used in the derby, i.e. everyone tight together and starting off quickly, we can win. we have the talent to win with anyone with the players we have in front of us. Force.
They lost to Leipzig.
Leao contributing isn't the issue. Yeah, he quietly has his numbers, but the issue is he doesn't do anything in the game if people aren't getting him the ball. Look at Pulisic even today. He constantly made runs and wasn't getting the ball, so what did he do? He played hard on defense. He always finds a way to be in the game. That's the issue. Sure, Leao looked better today, but let's see him do it consistently.
Also it's Lecce
I’ve never condemned the signings of Tammy and Morata. I believe they are both underrated and upgrades to older Giroud and Jovic.
I hope that Fonseca soon understands that this team has built over the years a thought for the counterattack, so we cannot dominate the game and always keep the ball, we don't have those characteristics, we don't have setters. We have players who are very fast and very strong in space, but if you block their space by holding the ball too much (as happened to us against Lecce before the first goal), you are damaging players like Theo and Leao. yesterday's 2nd goal is an example of how Milan must play to make the most of the players they have: passing the ball quickly and going deep. These are the characteristics of many of our players recruited in recent years.
“Pretty high quality pass to Hernandez”??? Leao put it in a spot that let Theo stroll in and thump it home.
Let Fonseca cook! 🔥
Your graphic is off… leao is one spot below pulisic and one other person in goal contributions… also when you get the #10 jersey then expectations are going too be sky high and if he doesn’t want those expectation then he can give up the jersey and switch numbers
I have a theory that once Zlatan arrived he wanted to sign players that wanted to wear the badge. He wants players that fight and defend the history of the club. All the signings regardless of how they started, have put in crazy effort for the team. They are passionate to play for the club, that can make up for a lot when the skill needs to be developed. I’ll add on I am a huge Fofana fan and I know he started slow but he will become the best ball recovery midfielder in the league in due time.
Fofana hasn't shown the ability to recover balls at. Let's see if can develop that skill
MILAN: Man I Love Ac (N)ilan
Will need to see if this formation will work out in the long run because we don't have much depth on the subs. Like every season we always have had injury problem's.
We don't have the same definition of "top of Serie A"
Regardless, happy to see Milan actually playing well. It looks like there's gonna be real competition in the top spots 4 this season!
Leao has the most potential of any player in the Serie A. Pulisic is currently the best player because of his off the ball skills. Its a good problem for Milan to have. Its 100% because of Frank Lampard. He taught Pulisic how to run at the goal and get good positioning.
As a Galaxy fan is what Greg Vanney had done with Gabriel Pec. Pec used to play more like Chukweze, now he plays more like Pulisic. And Pecs goal contributions have skyrocketed
🤔I wouldn’t say that. Christian already had the skills when it came to positional awareness. I would say that Frank helped Christian develop/refined it and understand it more.
Leao looked very different effort wise this game so maybe the benching and the fans criticism is waking him up. I don't think we should fall back into not expecting theses higher levels from Raffa. He needs to keep the fire so maybe the fans do to.
Forza Milan ❤🎉
And have to credit Abraham for initiating the press esp after we scored that 1st goal. And personally I will never give credit to management. Our team has been playing better in spite of what management has done to our club.
Leao played so much better. He was never a great scorer but he provides so many other things.
Attackers are the first defenders and he fails miserably in this half of his game. (Leao)
NOW Foncesca has bought himself time! At least to late December
This dude hates pulisic because he was wrong. But, Leao... he is in love with.
Pulisic fans probably check in here just to diss this hater.
Not really hate but I could argue he idolizes Leao in a very unhealthy way😅
@@ibrahimismail577 yea yea i know. Tbh, he is top pulisic result. Which is ... hit me up!
Leao is not currently the highest contributor in league. Pulisic has 6 Leao has 4
I think he was referring to the graphic where he was tied with Christian from last season
That graphic is dated… CP has 32 with 20 goals and 12 Assists, the only player in Serie A with 20G and 10A.
Every time I think about giving some credit to the management, another thought comes to mind: they (let Kalulu go and) bought Emerson Royal
give theo his 8 million per year.
Definitely,and I say even more but with this management with their miserly attitude will just stretch this negotiation until is a breakdown n the player just wants to leave on a free now. U want results n performance but fail to give what is due the players that provide that. Make it make sense
Yes we're improving, but there's still a lot to prove my man, we'll see what we'll do againt leverkusen, the first 30 minutes of the game we could have conceded a goal, with better teams than leece, we still suffer when we don't have the ball, it feels like we can't get it back from the oppononets.
Hey @kush I said it the last weeks that Foncesca needs time
My only problem with the summer business is getting rid of Kalulu.. wish we still had him
Lets gooo
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Red hot chili peppers and Milan ❤❤
Ac milans biggest problem for years is build round champions like mike,theo,rafa stop buying lots of average players......Come on rafa you can be one of the best sort yourself out.....rafa and theo are the best left wing in the world..
Coach should play Jimenez on the right side please
Pulisic is like an inzaghi and kaka in one.
i will start this by saying leao was actually good and even tracked back at times today even tho he was still walking for the majority of the game but why would leao get praise for his g/a contribution he literally has the ball for the overwelming majority of the time in his feet when you get the ball 30 times per game on your feet and you deliver 1 assist you are a terrible contributer on the other side pulisic is getting the ball 15 times and contributes the same thats why he takes a lot of credit that along with the fact that he actually runs the whole game and also does not have a theo behind him but a calabria and emerson leao should have at least 6 goals this season already with the easy goals he should had scored especially in the first 2 games even against inter instead he is still at just 1 and at the end of the day thats the problem he has the talent to be a top 5 player in the world and if we are honest he should have already become that he is 25 he is entering his prime and he gonna ask for a salary of 6+ million minumun and he still performs like a guy with the tactical ability of a 16 year old and he is extremely inneficient aswell its like shooting 5/30 in a basketball game and getting praised
Loao doesn't deserve a green box for lecce dude
❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️🖤
Maybe pulisic saw your video
Yeah someone was saying sell rafa and promote one of the futuro player lol. Replace rafa with a serie c player Yeah that's an idea lol.
1. You are gaslighting everyone. That 30 contribution stat was the same stat before the last game. Since then, pulisic has had 2 additional goals and 1 assist. Leao had an assist. So, the pulisic is leading the league in controbutions. Not leao.
2. Leao had a much better game than he has had this year. that is because he actually played defense. The issue with leao is that he thinks his only job is to stand there and wait for the ball. He acts like he is too good to play defense. Like he is so great. He isnt. Modern football requires EVERYONE to play defense. EVERYONE to hustle. Leao has never been that player. So when he isnt scoring, assisting or helping out defensively, when he is in a funk you start to ask, "wtf are you adding to the team." Morata and tammy arent scoring but they hustle. They play for the team. That make me as a fan value them more than leao. But if leao gives the same effort even when not scoring, he is earning his spot on the field. If he isnt, then he isnt earning it. If u say he is, then you are fanboying and cant be taken serious
Tammy can’t score to save his life
He's extremely unlucky at this point 😔
Bro don't do that, give Tammy his flowers
his the reason why Leao, Pulisic and Morata can move freely
@@TerryEnoch I hear you. I respect his work rate and the opportunities and chances he creates. I think he’s an important player to the team! It’s just so frustrating seeing him miss easy opportunities
Keep in mind we have 3 wins in 7 games this season..don't throw flowers for a garbage management yet. In the end we will finish top 4, get kicked out of Chanpions and Coppa and everyone will complain again.
Injuries have always been pulisic enemy.
