Football is a sport filled with passion. Assessments made in the heat of the moment are often unreliable. Take, for example, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the manager of AC Milan. Ten days ago, when Fonseca's sacking drama unfolded, nine and a half out of ten Rossoneri supporters were cursing Ibrahimovic, finding him utterly inadequate. But after winning the Super Cup, when Ibrahimovic confidently repeated his mantra "I'm the best after God" in the locker room, a large number of people began to praise him as a managerial genius. Interestingly, those who gave two completely different evaluations within ten days are often the same group of people. But in the football world, who can always win? Who hasn't lost a game? Even a powerhouse like Manchester City, the reigning champions of the Premier League with four consecutive titles, had a five-game losing streak just a few hundred days ago. And Real Madrid, champions of La Liga and the Champions League just months ago, suffered humiliating defeats against Barcelona and AC Milan in November - at that time, Catalan media were raving about Flick's miraculous arrival and their certainty of winning the title. But now? Real Madrid has climbed back to the top of La Liga, leading Barcelona by five points. All this reveals the most basic truth on the field: Do not judge a hero by a single victory or defeat! After Inter Milan lost the Super Cup, many fans were disheartened, saying that the Nerazzurri's period of prosperity was over. But in my personal view, one match - especially a loss after…

In the 2025 Italian Super Cup final, AC Milan made a remarkable comeback from a 0:2 deficit to defeat Inter Milan 3:2 and claim the title. The new AC Milan coach, Conceicao, has proven his worth by leading the team to consecutive victories against Juventus and Inter Milan. This demonstrates that the players at AC Milan are of high caliber, and it's clear that Fonseca should have been replaced long ago, perhaps he never should have taken the job at Milan in the first place. It's absurd to bench world-class left-back Theo and former Serie A MVP Leo, known as the "Portuguese Mbappe," with a value of 75 million euros, the highest in the current AC Milan squad. Under Pioli, Leo was an absolute starter for AC Milan. This season, although Fonseca didn't dare to unjustly bench Leo, the Portuguese winger's form has dipped somewhat, and he has also suffered injuries. However, it's certain that Fonseca hasn't utilized Leo effectively. Trailing 0:2, AC Milan staged a stunning comeback with three consecutive goals. Theo, who scored and assisted in equalizing the game, played a pivotal role, and Leo, who came off the bench in the 50th minute, also contributed significantly, providing the assist for Abraham's decisive goal. In Conceicao's view, his young compatriot still has significant room for improvement. "Leo has the potential to become the best player in the world. He possesses all the necessary qualities; he just needs to understand the two or three things he must do on the field, and he can become incredibly strong."

On January 6th, Beijing time, a focus match in Serie A concluded. In the Rome derby, the home team Roma defeated their local rivals Lazio 2-0, with goals from Pellegrini and Saelemaekers, while Lazio forward Castellanos was sent off with a red card in the final moments. Roma has recently been doing well, and they need to thank Milan for the gift they sent. AC Milan missed the mark! They misplaced their trust in Fonseca and let go of the winged defender: now he has made 6 goals in 7 games, shining in Serie A. The Rome derby is always intense, and in this match, Roma committed 12 fouls and received 4 yellow cards, while Lazio players committed 18 fouls, resulting in 5 yellows and 1 red. The two teams clashed at the end of the game, with Castellanos receiving a red card for a malicious foul. In this tense match, Roma player Saelemaekers became the key player, contributing one assist and one goal to help Roma win. Just 10 minutes into the game, Saelemaekers delivered a wonderful pass from the right flank to find captain Pellegrini, who then curled a shot into the net to give Roma the lead. In the 18th minute, Saelemaekers had two consecutive shots in the penalty area, with his initial shot being saved before he followed up to score, extending Roma's lead. Ultimately, thanks to Saelemaekers' MVP performance of creating 2 goals, Roma won the derby. Roma had previously gone through a period of 2 draws and 4 losses, remaining winless in 6 consecutive…

The change of coaches at Milan is quite interesting. Fonseca only stayed for half a year before leaving, and the newly arrived Conceicao appears to be making sweeping reforms. However, this kind of coaching change is not uncommon in Serie A, after all, when results are poor, someone has to take the blame. Tomori, this player, did not fare well under Fonseca, basically sitting on the bench as a substitute, only coming on once in the last five games. This treatment seems unreasonable for a main player who helped the team win the Serie A title. As soon as Conceicao arrived, he put him in the starting lineup, which suggests that the new coach wants to rekindle the form of this English central defender. The central defensive partnership of Tomori and Gav in training has been good, giving Conceicao hope. After all, stable defense is needed against strong teams like Juventus, which may lead to Gabia taking a seat on the bench. This personnel adjustment shows Conceicao's high regard for the defensive system. Milan is currently ranked eighth, which is not a very good result. The new coach must act upon taking office, and reusing Tomori is a wise move, ensuring stability at least defensively, and Tomori has indeed proven his abilities before. Calabria's contract expires this summer, and at 28 years old, he is in his prime. However, this season he only had 10 appearances, with only 6 starts, which is somewhat awkward for a captain, and there is no news of renewal yet. He may leave the team…

Milan will be very busy with the renewal of core players, which will naturally increase the team's operating costs. Milan is a team that has been severely affected by the renewal issue. The players who left for free in the past still make many Rossoneri unable to let go. Renewing key players is one of the core tasks of management, and they must do better at present to prevent the tragedy of the past from happening again. At least for now, they have achieved preliminary results: Gabbia has successfully renewed his contract, and he will become the future possible team captain and spokesman for Milanism. The data in this article comes from Calcio e Finanza, and will not be repeated later. According to this data, Gabbia received a doubled salary treatment, with an after-tax annual salary reaching 2 million euros. However, due to the regulations of the Italian Growth Decree, such local players cannot enjoy preferential tax rates, so the actual cost for the team to pay Gabbia increased from 1.85 million euros to 3.7 million euros. Just like Bennacer, although he is not Italian, he does not have any tax advantages. Therefore, before the serious injury, as the absolute midfield core of the team, his renewal conditions were a post-tax annual salary of 3.8 million euros, but the actual cost for the team was as high as 7.04 million euros, even exceeding Leao. This season, Ben 4 is also one of the "most expensive" players in the team, second only to Morata (who returned to La Liga in 2022…

Due to poor results and ranking 8th in Serie A, AC Milan has changed their coach. Coach Fonseca, who only coached for half a year, was abandoned by Milan, and his Portuguese compatriot Conceicao became the new coach of Milan. Conceicao had an outstanding coaching performance at Porto, helping the team win three Portuguese Super League titles and other honors, and once eliminated Ronaldo's Juventus to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Milan hopes to revive under Conceicao's leadership. Conceicao's "three fires" upon taking office! Reusing players discarded by Fonseca, selling the Milan captain, and the first signing of the winter window emerges. On January 3rd, according to the report by Milan sports reporter Biajin from the Italian media "La Gazzetta dello Sport," in the upcoming semi-final of the Italian Super Cup against Juventus, Tomori and Jaf were paired as central defenders in training, and Tomori is expected to start against Juventus, with Gabbia possibly coming off the bench at that time. Fonseca did not pay enough attention to Tomori's use, and in the last five games he coached Milan, Tomori only came on as a substitute once. The English central defender became a marginal figure at Milan, closely linked with Juventus. With the change of leadership, after Conceicao took office, Tomori will get opportunities. This player, who previously helped Milan win the Serie A title, may experience changes in his Rossoneri career and have the chance to continue playing for Milan. Although Calabria is the captain of Milan, he has had few opportunities this season, making 10 appearances…

1 - Milan's new coach wants to buy new players to support himself According to All-Juventus, Conceicao has requested that Milan loan in Chiesa or Zirkzee. After taking office, Conceicao has made some transfer requests to Milan. He specifically requested to loan Xiao Chiesa from Liverpool or Zirkzee from Manchester United, who failed to establish himself and may be destined to return to Serie A. Zirkzee left a good memory during his time at Bologna. His goal-scoring ability can be utilized by Milan in the second half of the season, and San Siro could be his ideal stage. 2 - Milan has a great chance to buy Okolo According to sports journalist Skira, AC Milan hopes to sign Venice attacker Okolo. Skira wrote on social media, "AC Milan has started negotiations with Venice to try to sign Okolo for Milan's future team (AC Milan B team). Milan has offered a loan plus purchase option. Venice requires a direct sale of this young attacker for a fee of 1.2 million to 1.5 million euros." Okolo was born in Italy on March 26, 2005, plays as a left winger, and can also play as a center forward. He comes from the Venice youth training system and is currently on loan to Pesaro (competing in Serie C B like Milan's future team), where he has played 18 games in all competitions this season, scoring 4 goals and providing 2 assists. 3 - Little Inzaghi talks about Conceicao's issue "It's a pity that we coaches are always judged. I feel sorry for Fonseca because…

The issue of selecting a head coach at the start of Milan's season has been a hindrance to their development, and the poor results produced by new coach Fonseca have led to significant dissatisfaction among the upper management. After an intense conflict, he was forced to step down, causing Milan to suffer a setback. Initially, they considered inviting Conceicao to coach, but he did not want to come, which led to some reservations from the Milan management, giving Fonseca the opportunity. However, the problem is that he proved to be unreliable and did not fulfill the trust placed in him. Subsequently, Milan invited their old acquaintance Conceicao again, and this time he did not reject Milan, accepting the offer and becoming the new owner of San Siro. Conceicao's agent Mendes had multiple conversations with Milan owner Cardinale, laying the foundation for their cooperation. It is reported that Conceicao sent a positive signal to Milan, wanting to make up for his regret of not coming to San Siro in the past. The Milan owner was also speechless, but this summer, Milan ultimately made a big mistake by choosing to hire Fonseca. According to Conceicao himself, after joining Milan, he will manage strictly, which has led many media outlets to question him. It should be noted that the main problem with Theo and Leo at Milan is their disobedience. If Conceicao is even stricter than Fonseca, it is unknown how they will consider this issue. According to reports from journalists, he shouted loudly during his first training session at Milan, showing great…

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…
