The words of Paulo Fonseca

Paulo Fonseca spoke after Milan’s first Champions League win: "The goal disallowed to Camarda? It would have been a very nice moment, from a young man who deserves to be in the group and who has worked so hard to be here. Heà will score many goals in the future, è only the beginning".

"We played a game without intensityà in the circulation too slow against a team good at defending low. When Okafor and Chukwueze came in the game è changed, they brought more energy and the team gained intensityà. After the second goal we did very good things".

Chapter Leao, substituted and still on the back foot: "There's no specific problem with him. The change is not è a punishment. I think offensively he did important things for the team, then I decided to change as I also did with Loftus Cheek".

"In the first half we did not do things well – concluded the coach – we had difficulties; then the game è became slow. If there is no space, we have to increase intensity, and we did not do that, è it was a problem of understanding the moment of the game".
