Fonseca: “Fantastic match. The best of my management. Milan are missing a penalty”

The coach of Milan Paulo Fonseca gave an interview to ‘Sky’ at the end of the 1-0 match at the BayArena against Bayer Leverkusen. The goal scored at the start of the second half by Victor Boniface decided the match: “We didn’t win, but it’s the match I liked the most since I arrived here. Especially in the second half. We played a fantastic match: it’s not easy against a team like Bayer. We are sad and disappointed with the result, but I am satisfied with the courage and form shown.”

What do you think of Hincapiè’s intervention on Loftus-Cheek?
“For me it’s a penalty, it’s an intervention on the line. What’s strange is that they didn’t even review the situation. The referee had no doubts during the match, but I don’t like talking about the referee.”

In the first half why were you so short?
“It was difficult for us. We closed the internal spaces, but then they created problems on the flanks, mainly on the right, and despite the difficulties we defended well.”

Did Leao help Theo Hernandez a little?
“In the first half we had more problems on the right than on the left. It’s true that it’s difficult to bring Leao back, but in my opinion we had more problems on the right. In the first half we suffered on the flanks.”
