Milan’s Must-Win Match: Can They Regain Fan Support Against Empoli?

Fonseca: Milan: Paulo Fonseca believes that Milan will approach their match against Empoli like they did against Real Madrid. He wants the team to win back the fans after they were booed recently. The game starts at San Siro at 17:00 GMT.

Milan eased some pressure with a 3-2 win in the Champions League against Slovan Bratislava. However, they need to improve in Serie A after disappointing draws with Cagliari and Juventus.

The team is already missing players like Luka Jovic, Ismael Bennacer, and Alessandro Florenzi. Noah Okafor also joined the injury list due to flu symptoms. Yunus Musah will again play on the right side of the attack, a position he held during the match against Real Madrid.

Fonseca explained that their strategy will be similar to the one used against Real Madrid. He noted that Empoli plays directly and often has five players in front of the defense. Therefore, it is crucial for Milan to maintain stability while defending.

Musah helps the team find balance in defense, but Fonseca believes the squad needs more overall balance. He warned that Empoli, despite being in a relegation battle, is currently mid-table and has a better defensive record than Milan this season.

Fonseca expects Empoli to press high and play aggressively, so Milan must be quick to attack when they regain possession. After the disappointing 0-0 draw with Juventus, the team is eager to change the atmosphere in the stadium.

Fonseca stated that the best way to win back the fans is to play well and secure a victory. He believes that winning will help the fans believe in the team again. This match is a chance for Milan to win back the support of their fans by the end of the game.
