AC Milan’s fluctuating fortunes will once again take centre stage when they face a tricky test away to Fiorentina in the pick of Matchday 7 fixtures in Serie A this weekend.
Milan have endured some teething issues under new manager Paulo Fonseca and will need to find a sense of organisation and determination when they face ‘La Viola’ at the Artemio Franchi Stadium in Florence on Sunday night.
“What do I expect from Milan? That they become a team,” said former ‘Rossoneri’ manager Arrigo Sachi. “Fonseca must have a clear goal: the players must always be in an active position. This way, they reduce risks and can apply more organised pressing. Additionally, and this is far from trivial, it requires less effort.”
Champions Inter Milan, meanwhile, will be in action in the pick of Saturday’s matches when they welcome Torino to the San Siro Stadium.
A three-point haul will be expected of the ‘Nerazzurri’, who have gone from strength to strength in the past couple of seasons – with manager Simone Inzaghi believing that winning their 20th Scudetto last season (which allows them to have a second star above their club crest) has fostered even more togetherness and cohesion within his team.
“These wonderful lads went on an extraordinary journey, and the second star will unite us forever,” said Inzaghi. “My thanks go to everyone, from the lads and the players who are no longer part of this group through to the Club, which has always been by our side.”
