AC Milan coach Fonseca to stick to winning formula for Fiorentina clash: Carlos Volcano

Fonseca emphasized the significance of continuity at this juncture, stressing the need for additional rest days for players in order to maintain their performance levels. He expressed the importance of keeping a consistent starting line-up, not due to lack of faith in the squad, but to ensure stability and cohesion on the field.

“Loftus-Cheek and Chukwueze have come in, done well and are working hard, but I think it’s important to have a base to start from.

“There’s still a lot to play for, and there are many strong teams that have the same objective as us. Obviously Napoli has the advantage of not playing in the European cups. They have a very strong coach and a very strong team. I’m not trying to put pressure on them, it’s the truth. Napoli is a real candidate for the Scudetto.

“We are in a time of growth. It’s not the case that we’ve made it because we won against Lecce and Inter, we need to carry on growing. We are improving, but we have a lot to improve on still. The real Milan is not close yet, we have to do more.”
