In today's press conferennce (read HERE), AC Milan coach Paulo Fonseca was asked about using different pairings in the defensive positions in the last few mathes.
The Portuguese gaffer responded to the question by saying the following:
"It’s clear that I have a more stable pairing than others. But we also need to understand that we have many matches, and we can’t always play the same players. Matteo was injured, played one game, and after the injury, it was difficult for him to play another. I know it’s important to have consistency in the defensive line, but the problem is that we have many matches, and with injuries, we need to manage. It’s a management issue, almost mandatory at this point."
Fonseca continued:
"We’re happy, with almost no injuries. I don’t want to jinx it, but it’s very, very positive. And this is also thanks to the way we’re managing the players."
