The head coach of Milan, Paulo Fonseca, commented on the victory over Verona (1:0) in the match of the 17th round of the Italian Serie A. Quoted by Portuguese specialist Football Italia.

“We were slow in the first half, and that was inevitable with the recent match that we couldn’t win and the absence of many players. Yes, we dominated possession and didn’t allow Verona to do much, but we lacked aggression in the final third.

We made too many wrong decisions, in particular due to a lack of confidence – we often had the ball near the opponent’s penalty area and should have managed it better.

I repeat, given our current form and the absence of many players, I am happy with the win and that is the main thing. We deserved three points, played to zero and showed a more stable game in defense. Need to add in attack – this problem affects our confidence

Leau’s injury? I spoke to Rafa and the problem doesn’t seem serious. His replacement was more of a precautionary measure – feeling pain, he didn’t want to take any chances, but nothing serious,” said Fonseca.
