In the pre-match for Milan - Napoli, Paulo Fonseca spoke to DAZN's microphones. Here are his words:
"Our ambition is clear: to fight for the Scudetto. Today is an important match; it won’t be decisive, as the season has just started. We want to play a great game against a very strong opponent."
On Rafael Leao being left out of the official lineup, the coach said:
"That’s the coach’s decision. I think it’s better to start the game with Okafor."
He added:
"Today we don’t have Pulisic; he has gastroenteritis. Loftus has interesting qualities, but more so when there’s space. He’s learning what to do when space is tight. Conte’s teams defend deep and compact, which will be an opportunity to see Loftus’s growth. He has qualities that can help the team."
On Christian Pulisic's availability:
"Pulisic? He’s on the bench; some time has passed, and he’s feeling better, but he couldn’t start. If we need him, we’ll see how he’s doing."
