While AC Milan’s Paulo Fonseca version is really struggling to get its season off to a good start, as illustrated by the draw conceded on the pitch at Lazio in Rome (2-2), the controversial choices of the Portuguese coach as well as the attitude of certain key players have had the gift of raising questions among observers on the other side of the Alps. Left on the bench at kick-off, Theo Hernandez and Rafael Leao came on at the end of the game and stayed away from the group during a freshening-up break, refusing to go and get their coach’s instructions. Enough to suggest the first tensions in Milan? When questioned on this subject, Paulo Fonseca denied any tensions with the two players mentioned.
“There is no problem. I didn’t even notice it during the cool-down break. Théo came to talk to me after the match. I explained my decision to them this week, they accepted it. We have to stop creating false problems.“, justified the former LOSC manager at a press conference.
