Paulo Fonseca won’t budge on Theo Hernandez

Paulo Fonseca spoke in a press conference on the eve of Milan-Genoa. "For me it would have been easy to talk only about the victory with Red Star,” he began, “but tomorrow Milan is 125 years old and we have to live up to that history. And for me, after Wednesday, it was not like that. With Wednesday&#39s attitude, we could not live up to a club that has made soccer history. I talked to the team, I talked to the players I wanted to talk to, and we are ready for tomorrow".

So he è not unbalanced on Theo Hernandez: "I have nothing to add to what I said on Wednesday. I wonò t say names here, but I talked to the players, told them what I think in four eyes and we have to move forward. Tomorrow they will play the best team I think to win the game. I don’t know who will play tomorrow".

More on the post-Champions outburst: "After the game, in the locker room, everyone had the same feeling and for me this è was very positive . The team then worked well, the atmosphere è good. We are a family, the problem has to be solved in the locker room and è that&#39s what we did. I had the need to speak publicly because I always tell the truth, it is difficult for me to hide what I feel after the game and these are important messages to get across. You are not inside, you do not know everything".

On the lineup with Genoa: "The Milan Futuro project è important to have more players ready for the First Team. What I can say è that tomorrow we will see someone on the field".

On Camarda: "We have to grow Camarda with balance. The expectations and pressures on young people are not good. Please: let’s not create pressure on Camarda. He è a balanced boy, let him be balanced. I am careful about his work. I always have to think well when and how to use him. These guys have to play in the right time and moment. He has quality, but he has to keep growing. He must not have this burden of being decisive. Let him go the route of a young man".

"When I arrived here Milan already had" three captains. Calabria, Theo and Rafa. Imagine if I change the captain, you kill me becauseé I changed the captain. I have confidence in the captain we have. If I agree, è another thing. But I have respected the team hierarchy, and I will continue to do so. Until he decides; to change it" Fonseca closed.
