AC Milan drew 0-0 against Juventus. The match was a disappointing result for the Rossoneri who wanted so much more. Speaking to DAZN after the match, the Rossoneri coach Paulo Fonseca shared his thoughts.
On the boos from the fans:
"It’s normal when you don’t win after a game like this. Maybe if I were a fan, I would’ve done the same. It’s not good to come to the stadium and see a performance like this. I completely understand the fans."
On the team’s lack of energy, Fonseca said:
"I think it was a very, very tactical game from both teams. We showed too much respect for Juventus, and they did the same. It was a game with no risks. We know Juve defends very well, and it’s not easy to create chances against them. When we had opportunities to break out or attack quickly, we either didn’t take the risk or made poor decisions. In the moments where we could have done more, we failed with the final pass and didn’t take chances. Defensively, we did well—it shouldn’t be forgotten that Juve scored four goals against Inter here. But when we have opportunities, we need to take risks."
On the lack of courage and one-on-one situations, Fonseca replied:
"Yes, that’s what I said: we need to take more risks. It seemed like the team always wanted to play it safe, but if we want to score, we have to take risks. My feeling is that we didn’t take enough offensive risks. Normally, we create several chances."
On the Scudetto race:
"I know it’s difficult for others to believe, but I still do. There are many games left to play, and plenty of points that other teams can drop."
