Milan, Paulo Fonseca does not hide problems in defense

Soì spoke Milan coach Paulo Fonseca on the eve of the home match against Empoli, returning to the errors of the Rossoneri rearguard in the Champions League.

"We won in Bratislava, but we had defensive problems on which I cannot close my eyes. We talked about it and worked on it. I must say forò that we are the fifth defense in the league, we took less than Atalanta and the same as Inter and Lazio.

“We are making a monster out of a problem. We want to work, we are working for it. In Bratislava the error was not tactical but in reading the moment, individual technique. We won, is everything okay? No. But after we work I have positive responses from the team".

Then, about Leao, Fonseca says: ”Better to have Leao on the field? Now sì. Coaches have different strategies. I used two, one didn't yield results the other s”, without però revealing beyond the four consecutive benches which è was the first strategy adopted.

“I am very happy to have had from Rafa that reaction after he è been on the bench but I now want continuity; the team needs the best Leao”. Tomorrow against Empoli Fofana will be cautioned but the coach does not want to spare him despite the risk of disqualification with Atalanta: "At this moment I cannot not use him. The next match è the mostù important".

"We cannot run away from the pressure when we are in clubs like Milan or City. I don’t know what happened to Guardiola, but being here è having pressure every day, outside Milanello with the press, inside with the players. We are a team that must always win".

"If we don’t want to have this pressure we can’t be here, at this level. È a very big pressure. And it is felt every minute, every day. I say soccer è for strong people”, concluded Fonseca.
