The Spanish Alvaro Morata was the beginning of his coming Milan this summer in an intangible piece for his coach, the Portuguese Paulo Fonsecawhich gave him maximum confidence whenever the Madrid striker was available.
Morata arrived at Milan in August and is already a leader on and off the field, although he prefers not to consider himself as such. “Theo is a leader, Rafa Leao is a leader. There are many very good players in the team. We have to be a strong team, react differently to bad situations,” he said after the match loss Liverpool (1-3) in the Champions League after many comments were received praising his attitude.
His performances and his constant display of being the leader of the group contradict him. He won the love of the fans, despite his past as a Juventus Turin player, and the total trust of Paulo Fonseca, who since he had a former Real Madrid player available and Atlético de Madrid He never stops giving her as many minutes as possible.
His debut as a ‘rossonero’ was as a substitute, but conditioned by some discomfort in his quadriceps that, after half an hour on the pitch where he revived the Milan with a goal that led to a final tie, ended with a more serious injury that prevented him from playing two games in Serie A and went out with the Spanish team.
A slowdown that didn’t detract from his locker room poster, even with English’s signing Tammy Abraham. Once the injury was over, he returned to play against Venice for 27 minutes to regain his competitive rhythm and be one hundred percent in the Champions League.
He started against Liverpool, assisting Milan’s only goal; and he started the Milan derby against Inter, the first won by the Rossoneri in two years of Nerazzurri dominance, snapping a six-game losing streak.
Two great performances that confirmed him as the undisputed starter at Milan Paulo Fonsecawho considered him untouchable. Not even French Theo Hernandez and the luso Rafael Leao They are, as he showed by leaving them on the bench on the third day of Serie A against Lazio.
The man from Madrid has already warned a few weeks ago that he could have his best years in Milan. “White hair can be seen when a player has experience. I learned from many coaches, from many teammates and I think I still have the most important 4-5 years of my career left,” he declared in an interview with sports in the sky Italy. “I feel like I’m more ready than ever to give it my all with such a high level of experience,” he insisted.
And he warned that he was looking forward to the derby: “I’m looking forward to the game against Inter.” “I went to San Siro to watch some derbies as a fan, With my cap and black glasses no one noticed me. I want to breathe that atmosphere, even on the outside you realize how important this game is. “I hope to try the experience of scoring in a derby and to win it, to make the Milan fans proud,” he said.
He didn’t score, but he played 78 minutes with great value for his Milan, who have been renewed since his arrival. Fans have found their new guide in Morata. So did Fonseca, who kept him as an untouchable.
