According to the Milan coach Paulo Fonsecathe Rossoneri’s problem is not the defensive phase. The Portuguese coach, in the press conference before the match against Milan on the 14th matchday, spoke about the issue as follows: “Sometimes the problems come with the matches. Against Juve we worked a lot on the defensive organization and the team done well. Now we have had a transition team and the players understand that in any case we are the fifth defense in the championship, we have conceded as many goals as Inter and Lazio they are things that are not tactical Bratislava is not tactical, but about reading and individual momentum. We continue to work on the problem we had in the match team has a positive response.”
The conversation then moved on Rafael Leao. Is it better to have Leao on the pitch than on the bench? Fonseca himself answered this question: “Now yes. I used two strategies with Leao: one had no results, the other did. I am very happy that Rafa had this reaction, but I want continuity. The team has need this Rafa.”
On the other side, the Rossoneri will find Empoli in full emergency, as announced by the coach Roberto D’Aversa: “Zurkowski is not among the players called up, nor is De Sciglio. The three who returned the other day have worked and improved their physical condition. We have accelerated the return of Anjorin, for example. Among those called up there are also guys from the Primavera as well as those who train with us regularly. We are in an emergency, especially in midfield and evaluations need to be made both on tomorrow’s match and the following ones. The playing time has improved, but they are not yet available for ninety minutes I reserve the right to decide until the last minute.”
