Milan stumble again as cooling break turns up the heat on Paulo Fonseca | Nicky Bandini
There were signs of disharmony even after Rafael Leão’s equaliser against Lazio as Milan extended their winless start
The cooling break ought to have been a moment of opportunity for Milan, a chance to come together and plan a final assault. They had just pulled level at 2-2 away to Lazio, Rafael Leão driving the ball home from Tammy Abraham’s pass barely a minute after they were both introduced from the bench.
With a little over a quarter of an hour remaining, players gathered around their manager, Paulo Fonseca, to take on water and listen to his instructions. All except for Leão and Theo Hernández, who convened instead on the far side of the pitch.
