Costacurta: “It makes me think that what Fonseca did stimulated Leao”

3-2 victory for Milan on the Slovan Bratislava pitch in the Champions League match valid for the 5th round of the championship phase.

This is the comment from the studies of Sky Sports of former defender Alessandro Costacurtanow a commentator on satellite television: “It makes me think that what Fonseca has done in the last few games has stimulated him a little. However, often we are not able to understand Pulisic’s importance well, even in the interview I always heard him talking about ‘ us’. And then he is always focused and determined.”
