Paulo Fonseca annoyed: “We are missing a penalty.”
Paulo Fonseca disputes an arbitration decision
Although he could not say he was satisfied with the final result, Paulo Fonseca not only did not feel like flunking his AC Milan team but explained, at the microphones of 'Sky Sport', that he had seen what he believes è was the best overall performance since è on the rossoneri bench. He also disputed the failure to award a penalty kick for Hincapié's intervention on Loftus-Cheek deemed to be outside the box.
"Although we did not win,” explained the former Lille coach, “è the match I have liked the most so far, in the second half we were fantastic and it was not easy, since we had an opponent like Bayer in front of us. The intervention on Loftus-Cheek? I say we miss a penalty: the intervention was on the line, which is part of the area. The strange thing è that there's not even been a review in the VAR Room".
"We are disappointed with the final result but we have to take the best from matches like this,” Fonseca added. The attitude è was very good, in the first half we held on defense and in the second we showed courage. Even at the fitness level I am satisfied, we fought until the end".
Despite their efforts, AC Milan did not manage to avoid their second defeat in as many Champions League matches.The next challenge will be played on October 22 at San Siro against Club Brugge, followed by an away match on November 5 at the very difficult Real Madrid field, on November 26 the one in Bratislava against Slovan and on December 11 the home match against Red Star. The January 22 home match against Girona and the January 29 away match against Dinamo Zagreb will close the League Phase.
