In the early morning of September 28, Beijing time, the 6th round of Serie A took the lead in a game, and AC Milan defeated Lecce 3-0 at home. Under his leadership, AC Milan have reached the top of Serie A.
Fonseca succeeded Stefano Pioli as AC Milan's new manager this summer. However, this decision has caused a lot of controversy, because Fonseca's ability and coaching results are not convincing enough. In the first three rounds of the season, AC Milan drew 2 and lost 1 without a win, Fonseca was criticized overwhelmingly, and his position was also shaky, and he could be fired at any time.
Fortunately, the 4-0 win at home to Venezia gave Fonseca a chance to breathe. Although he later led the team to defeat Liverpool in the Champions League, Fonseca won the support of the fans in the Milan derby, beating arch-rivals Inter Milan 2-1 away. Against Lecce in this round, AC Milan did not disappoint everyone, and finally won 3-0. With this three points, AC Milan also became the new leader of Serie A.
At the start of the first half, AC Milan attacked like crazy, but they kept squandering their chances. Fortunately, at the crucial moment, Morata stepped up, and he scored a header in the 38th minute to completely stabilize the situation.
AC Milan then went on the attack, and just three minutes later, Te'o blasted home to reassure fans and Fonseca on the sidelines. Pulisic then scored from the post to make it 3-0.
After this game, AC Milan ushered in three consecutive wins in Serie A, and they also temporarily overtook Torino at the top of the table, and rose to the top of Serie A for the first time this season. Although AC Milan will be overtaken by their opponents at any time, being able to finish first has already proved Fonseca's ability.
Of course, Fonseca wants to completely secure the position of manager, and in the next Champions League, he must lead the team to beat Bayer Leverkusen. AC Milan will travel to the reigning Bundesliga champions in midweek. After a heavy defeat to Liverpool in the first round, AC Milan has no way back in the Champions League. Due to the restructuring of the Champions League this season, only the top eight teams can qualify directly, and AC Milan must beat Bayer Leverkusen away if they want to compete for the top eight, otherwise it will be difficult. Even if it draws, one point is not enough for AC Milan.
If they are unfortunate enough to be in the play-off places, then AC Milan are in trouble. At that time, you may encounter other top giants at any time and be eliminated early. Fortunately, this season, Bayer Leverkusen's form has declined, especially at home, they have conceded 6 goals in 2 Bundesliga games, and AC Milan may not be able to take away 3 points away if they can seize the opportunity to counterattack!
