Milan, Zlatan Ibrahimovic peremptory on Paulo Fonseca and Rafael Leao
Zlatan Ibrahimovic doesn’t mince words
Even for Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the Milan household, there is no "Leao case" and the bench to which the Portuguese è was forced against Udinese was functional to physical recovery ahead of the Champions match against Club Brugge, which saw the Rossoneri number 10 start from the 1'. That's, in brief, the Swede's thoughts to 'Sky Sport' on the sidelines of Tuesday's match.
"We are working, Leao has not è changed – said Ibrahimovic, bluntly dismissing rumors of an internal crisis – . Certain situations have to be resolved inside the locker room, some dynamics cannot be predicted and when something happens you have to understand the reactions. The important thing is to show ourselves as professionals on the field".
In the pre-match press conference, Fonseca was very clear about his approach: "Every choice I make è is in function of achieving victory, I do not seek personal satisfaction because I believe in the fact that the team comes before everything else. Milan è more important than Fonseca or any footballer. As a coach my responsibility è è to do everything so thaté Milan can win every game we play".
Rafael Leao è arrived at Milan in the summer of 2019, after a season at Lille. With the Rossoneri he won, as a star player, the 2021/2022 Scudetto, winning in the same season the Best Player of Serie A award, that of Best Player nominated by the AIC.
