By the way, I don't quite share the irony of the legendary Serednyaks regarding Paulo Fonseca's remark.
Yes, Milan achieved a heroic and one of its main European Cup victories in recent years - it is an honor to beat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu even in November in a meaningless match. Real Madrid refused to fly into Borussia. So all the farts and crap about motivation are completely out of place, Real Madrid wanted to win.
But I sincerely understand, as it seems to me, why Paulo said so. He is trying to establish positional football in Milan through patient ball plays. And yes, it is harder for him to do this against Monza (this component) than against Real Madrid, who, not knowing how to press, are trying to press.
Milan's second victory in a big match, the second time Milan were allowed to play in a way that is convenient for them. The fact of such a victory is already good. But it will be better for Milan if they first learn to click with average clubs. An important test is already this weekend. 0 reply

Mbappe's nightclubbing trip, unfortunate timing being on the day that Griezmann left the national team, and it quickly became epic. The fallout in France was such that Deschamps had to defend Mbappe with an unusual level of strength: "If he was there, that means the club is ok with it.
That was lousy timing, of course. Yet Mbappe was just ostentatiously ignoring an unimportant national team match. Is that not what we want? That the big players rest more, risk fewer superfluous injuries, and are at their best in the matches that matter most. Should that not be what one would want for Barcelona's Pedri and Gavi, say?
As it turned out- no. Missing a national team match predictably turns his own country against a player, that's why it's so hard to find a good solution: quietly skipping the matches, staying home on a day off so as not to offend anyone, miss not national team matches, but cup matches for a club that pays money? It's complicated. 1 reply

Want to say something about LEGEND of football...
• The 2006 final: "Thank God Iniesta came on in that match," says Xavi. "Otherwise, we would have definitely lost." Henry thought the same.
• 2009 final, Rooney: "We didn't lose to Barcelona, ​​we lost to Iniesta, the best player in the world." Before that match Ferguson said: "I'm not afraid of Messi because the real threat is Iniesta. He's incredible. Thanks to him Barca is so good."
2011 final, same Ferguson: "We're afraid of their midfielders, not their forwards. Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets." And all three scored a goal in that game. Andres did the same in the 2015 final.
So, the god of football chose Iniesta also because he alone combines everything that is inherent in the greats: the magic of Messi, the hard work and discipline of Ronaldo, the aesthetics of Ronaldinho, the intelligence of Xavi, the reliability of Nesta and Maldini, the winning mentality of Zidane. And all this is for the team. This is football, its essence, sealed in a person. 0 reply
