In the grand narrative of AC Milan's football history, the story of coach Fonseca was as fleeting and poignant as a shooting star. An official announcement from AC Milan brought an abrupt end to this coaching journey that lasted only 200 days.
Rewind to the time when Fonseca first arrived at San Siro, it was a moment filled with hope. He walked with a confident smile and firm steps, like a warrior about to embark on a legendary journey. The fans' eyes sparkled with anticipation, hoping he could skillfully reshape the glory of the Rossoneri.
However, the gap between ideals and reality was like a deep ravine blocking the way. In the league campaign, the team's performance was like a roller coaster, with ups and downs. Facing strong opponents, the Rossoneri often lost their armor, and even in games they should have won, they would inexplicably fail. Remember that crucial battle, the San Siro stadium was full of expectant gazes, but the players seemed like lost ships, helpless on the field. Fonseca's carefully planned tactics seemed to be enchanted, unable to exert their power.
On the European stage, victory songs were also not played. The team's attack resembled weak arrows, struggling to break through the opponent's defense; the defense was like a dilapidated wall, riddled with holes. Fonseca's tactical manual seemed to lose its magic in reality, with players on the field unfamiliar with each other's cooperation, their positioning chaotic, causing anxiety for the spectators.
Fonseca's selection of players has also been questioned. Some hot-form players could only watch helplessly from the bench; while some low-form players still occupied the starting lineup. This series of operations left the fans puzzled and dissatisfied.
Now that Fonseca has left, AC Milan urgently needs a new helmsman in the storm. It is hoped that the next coach can lead the Rossoneri to the shores of victory and continue to write a glorious chapter.
