“Maignan; Emerson, Gabbia, Tomori, Theo; Fofana, Reijnders, Loftus-Cheek; Pulisic, Leao, Morata“. Lineup announced, as very rarely happens, on the eve of the Champions League Paulo FonsecaMilan coach, who does not hide and reveals his moves. The Rossoneri’s opponent is Club Brugge, a match in which no mistakes will be allowed, given that after the first two defeats against Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen, three points will absolutely be needed to start moving the table.
AC Milan’s Champions League starts tomorrow.
The Portuguese coach spoke precisely about this, saying: “It’s what we want. Liverpool and Bayer are among the strongest in Europe, but they were two different games for me: against Liverpool we had difficulties, against Leverkusen we played a great game in the second half and showed signs of growth. We have to continue to grow, even if the match against Brugge is a difficult one. We have to win if we want to continue in the Champions League It’s important tomorrow.”
Theo and Leao back on the pitch.
After the exclusion of Leao against Udinese, due to a technical choice, and that of Theo Hernandez, due to disqualification, Fonseca knows that a lot will depend on these two players tomorrow at San Siro: “They will both play tomorrow from the first minute. What I expect It’s what I expect from everyone else: that they do their best for Milan to win. So do they play? I haven’t decided, I’ll think about it.
Finally words on the possible turning point, as was the case in the derby won against Inter: “No, it’s different. The competition is different, as are the characteristics of the opponents.”
