After the Milan-Juventus match, which ended 0-0, mister Paulo Fonseca thus spoke to the microphones of Milan TV: “It wasn’t a good match. It was boring. Too tactical, the teams didn’t take risks to be able to attack better. I think it wasn’t a good match to watch.”
Better on the defensive phase, bad on the offensive one.
“Defensively I think we were good. We must not forget that this team, Juventus, scored 4 goals here against Inter. The team improved defensively, also because Juventus didn’t take many risks, but I think we were good in defence. I think the problem was in attack. It’s not easy to create situations against a team like Juventus, the team that concedes fewer goals and gives fewer chances to the opponents. I think we almost always made the wrong decisions I think we don’t have took risks offensively, especially in the last few meters we can take risks, and I think we didn’t do that.”
Was this match a product of Cagliari?
“Maybe the subconscious of the team, of the players… also because we worked so hard defensively. Maybe the subconscious of the players didn’t want to concede goals. But I think that defensively we were good, but the problem was offensively. The risk, the decision, I think that was the problem.”
What needs to happen in the team’s character to score so many points and move up the rankings?
“Normally we are a team that creates many opportunities. In the last two games we scored 6 goals, we had other opportunities. Normally we are a team that has many opportunities to score. I think we prepared the match to defend well but also to have the initiative, to attack well against a team that we know is difficult to overcome. But I think we also have the opportunity to do better, to take risks, we have strong players one-on-one, we can do better offensively. It’s clear, we have played here against Napoli, we lost but we have created many opportunities. I think it was the first game that we had practically no opportunities. I think it was the first game where we didn’t take any offensive risks. Maybe this was the subconscious of the players who wanted to defend well, but if we want to win we have to do better.” .
