In his press conference on the eve of the match against Juventus, the Milan coach, Paulo Fonsecaalso spoke about some individuals: “If I see Morata motivated by ex? It’s important to have Leao and Morata in a good moment, they can make the difference in this type of match. In training I saw them very well, very motivated and I expect let them show this tomorrow too.”
How is Theo?
“Theo is a great footballer, for me he is the best left back in the world and I have no doubts about this. It was a question of adaptation. We spoke in recent days, he is learning things that are important and it seemed to me, in this week, more motivated than ever. And this is an important sign to have Theo at the highest level.”
Deschamps said that Theo is tired psychologically…
“I spoke to Theo. I think it’s not mental fatigue. It’s a question of adaptation. But I don’t want to comment on Deschamps’ words.”
Leao in Portugal said he needs to be more selfish…
“I understand what Rafa said. I think he means he needs to be more decisive, I agree. I think Rafa can be more decisive. He is working to do that, I have no doubts about that.”
Is tomorrow decisive?
“No, it’s important. Among other things, I can’t say that the match against Juve is more important than the one against Empoli, because we need to win more victories in a row. We are Milan, we have a lot of respect for Juve , but we are not afraid.”
Does Milan need reinforcements in January, despite what Ibra and Moncada said?
“We have solutions here, like Bennacer, there isn’t much time left for him to return to the squad. He can play Fofana’s position. During the week I spoke with my staff about Fofana: if he has a problem who plays in his place? Loftus can be a solution there, adapted, Musah can do it too. They would be adapted, but they can play that role until Bennacer returns. He is the only left back, but we can play with the right there: I have faith in Bartesaghi, he can help the team. team; I like him a lot, he has the conditions to play in our team if Theo is not there. The Milan Futuro is a totally different context. It is also more difficult for Camarda to play with the Milan Futuro than in Serie C. The January market is not easy, bringing in players and making them adapt quickly.”
