The Rossoneri coach: “Defensively we had stability, which is very important. Leao? Nothing special, he stopped to avoid trouble”
On the eve of the match he had been honest as usual, explaining that he didn’t really understand the reasons why there is one AC Milan during the week, and there is another on the day of the match. Worse, of course. Sooner or later, perhaps Paulo Fonseca will reveal the mystery, and thus he will have more effective weapons to accompany his team along a climb that continues to be very difficult. The three points are good for the ranking, they give breathing room and allow them not to give up any more ground compared to the top four, but the happy notes – apart from the award-winning Fofana-Reijnders company and the delightful cheekiness of Jimenez – end here. Progress in the game: zero. Progress in the collective attitude: flat line. Alibi, certainly real: nine players at home in the infirmary, which became ten after half an hour after the white flag raised by Leao.

“In the first half we played too slowly – analyzes Fonseca at the end of the match -. We didn’t allow them much, it’s true, but our ball possession didn’t consist of the aggression we should have had. Close to their area we needed to be more aggressive However, the victory is deserved, defensively we had stability, which is a very important thing, but up front we need to improve. I have it spoken, it seems to me it’s nothing special. He stopped above all to avoid worse problems. Were the ‘real’ ones only Loftus-Cheek and Musah, we couldn’t control the others: Pulisic arrived from the national team battered? tonsillitis”.
