Paulo Fonseca was delighted with Samuel Chukwueze’s opening goal against Udinese and ‘literally entered the pitch to celebrate.’ DAZN pitchside reporter Marco Russo described how Milan coach Fonseca celebrated the Rossoneri’s opening goal against Udinese on Saturday. The Portuguese coach is under pressure, having lost four games from the opening nine across all competitions. Fonseca dropped Rafael Leao, Fikayo Tomori and Tammy Abraham for today’s home game against the Bianconeri for technical and disciplinary reasons. Milan took the lead at minute 13 through Nigerian winger Chukwueze, who made the most of a fine assist from Christian Pulisic. “We’ve rarely seen…
The starting left-back for AC Milan in their challenge against Udinese at the San Siro will be Filippo Terracciano. Head coach Paulo Fonseca chose him to replace the suspended Frenchman Theo Hernandez. The former Hellas Verona player, who has played (and started) in just one match this season, has spoken to the Rossoneri club’s official channel and said these words: “First start at the San Siro? It’s a great opportunity that I’ve been waiting for. I work every day to be ready for this opportunity, so I will be prepared.” “A game that we’ve prepared well for,” reiterated the 21-year-old…
Milan were down to 10 men for over an hour due to the Tijjani Reijnders red card, but held on for the Samuel Chukwueze winner because Udinese had two goals disallowed over the most marginal decisions. The Rossoneri were still reeling after the defeat to Fiorentina, where Theo Hernandez and Tammy Abraham saw penalties parried, despite Christian Pulisic being the designated taker. The left-back began a two-match ban, with Abraham and Rafael Leao dropped to the bench, moving Pulisic into a trequartista role behind Alvaro Morata. Matteo Gabbia, Davide Calabria, Ismael Bennacer, Alessandro Florenzi and Marco Sportiello were injured. The…
After playing over an hour with 10 men, AC Milan edged Udinese to a 1-0 win at the Stadio San Siro to get back to winning ways, marking a first victory in three games across all competitions for the Rossoneri. Given that both teams had found the back of the net in eight of their last nine encounters, it was no surprise when the opener arrived within the first 15 minutes at San Siro. The Rossoneri delighted the home faithful with a splendid team effort, which culminated in Samuel Chukwueze’s first-time left-footed strike into the bottom corner after receiving Christian…
AC Milan returned to winning ways at Serie A on Saturday evening down as they ran out 1-0 victors against Udinese, but the scoreline doesn’t even begin to tell the story. Milan started the game well and took the lead through Samuel Chukwueze’s first league goal of the season, though things turned quickly when Tijjani Reijnders saw red before the half-hour mark for what was adjudged to be a last-man challenge on Lovric. However, the Rossoneri defended resiliently as Udinese sent cross after cross into the box. The away side thought they had snatched a point in the 95th minute…
Christian Pulisic’s strong run of form continued as the American delivered his third Serie A assist of the season to put AC Milan ahead of Udinese 1-0. His assist came in the 13th minute of Milan’s clash with Udinese at the San Siro. Charging forward from outside of the box, Pulisic received a pass and then laid the ball of to Samuel Chukwueze, who picked out the corner with his shot. It would turn out to be the only goal Milan needed, despite going down to 10 men early due to a Tijjani Reijnders red card and a late VAR…
