Fonseca: “I spoke to Ibra, we are always in contact. Boban and Sarri? I respect them, but I have other ideas”

Paulo Fonsecacoach of the Milanspoke in a press conference before the match against Venezia, which comes at a delicate moment, to be overcome as has happened in other cases during his career: “I don’t know if there is a key, I continue with the same passion and the same confidence, trying to solve the problems the team had in these first three games. At this moment, I only have to think about the work to do with the team and the players. The only key can be to focus on the players and the work”.

Have you happened to hear from Ibrahimovic on the phone these days?
“Yes”.

Sarri called Loftus-Cheek a mezzala, Boban said that Milan should play with three in the middle. Have you thought about a possible change of formation?
“I respect the opinions of others, even more so if, as in the case of Boban and Sarri, they are criticisms in a constructive form. I respect them, they are opinions but I am the one who works with all the players: we do not all have the same ideas, we are different coaches and I have to follow what I believe, not what others ask of me”.

What kind of confrontation did he have with Ibra and the management?
“It’s hard for me to talk about this when we’re in touch every day. It’s hard to understand how this news comes about when we’re in touch all the time.”
