Youssouf Fofana had a rollercoaster performance against Lazio last night, to say the least, as he did a lot of good things but also failed to impress in possession.
The start to the season has been filled with ups and downs for Fofana. While he tends to intercept the ball a lot, putting in a good shift defensively, he hasn’t exactly been successful in possession so far. Yesterday, we got to see yet another example of that.
In the second half of the 1-0 win against Lazio, Fofana decided to take matters into his own hands, going on a monster run from Milan’s half to the edge of the Biancocelesti’s penalty box. He did everything brilliantly, even faking a shot to open up space.
However, just as he was about to shoot, he touched the ball with his other leg and thus completely missed his effort. It was a moment that was very symbolic for his season as a whole, erasing the good work done seconds before by a lack of composure.

After the game, Fofana was also asked about his slow start to the game and he couldn’t help but laugh, agreeing with the journalist. Clearly, he’s aware of his own shortcomings and just has to continue to work to improve.
