Geoffrey Moncada, in the full interview with Milannews.it, spoke about Paulo Fonseca and how the club chose him as a replacement for Stefano Pioli last summer.
Here are the statements of the AC Milan technical area director.
In all this there is Paulo Fonseca. How did you get to him?
“Paulo has a style of play, we saw it at Lille, that I think Milan should have. We play in Milan and at San Siro, we have to control the game and the ball. We have to be solid on these points. Paulo has a good ability to work, he does interesting training sessions. He works individually and with the team. For example, he can work with all the midfielders: after training he takes four or five midfielders and does specific work with them. It's November, at the end of the season I'm sure we'll see many players who will have made a huge step with him”.
This step is to consolidate Milan at the top, right? Moncada replied:
“The top 5 in Europe are City, Liverpool, Bayern, etc. We want to try to get at least close, but it’s not easy. Even Liverpool took eight years to get to this level, it wasn’t like that before. They’ve done an important job. However, they had a strategy with a coach who has a precise playing methodology. We want to do this type of playing methodology with a coach who has clear ideas and develop the players.”
