“Winning, I’m here to win. I repeat: every coach who comes to Milan is here to win. I’m no different. We can’t escape this truth.” First day of school for Paulo Fonseca, new AC Milan coachalso presented yesterday by Zlatan Ibrahimovic, AC Milan manager.
These are Fonseca’s first words. I know that the coach who comes here does it to win. I have seen Baresi and other players who have made the history of Milan many times and I am aware that it is a great responsibility and, for me, a great pride. Milan is a universal club. I know the responsibility that I have in my hands, but I also know that I am here with great confidence to continue this story. I believe a lot in the squad we have. It is not news that we need players, not many, because we have quality, but it is true that we have roles to fill to improve the team”.
Instead, Ibrahimovic explained the lack of arrival of purchases so far. “We are studying, talking, but we are not in a hurry. The market is long. I can guarantee that the purchases will arrive. We are talking, we are discussing, but nothing is done. Zirkzee has passed. We have someone in mind, but I won’t say the name, but there is someone we are aiming for. To bring in new players you still have to create space. New players will arrive, but we don’t want to have 30 players. We have to think about who comes in, but also who goes out. It’s all studied to improve the squad. To bring in new players, you have to create space. It’s not American soccer where there are 40-50 players.”
