Paulo Fonseca, AC Milan’s head coach, spoke to DAZN a few minutes before the match against Empoli. Here are his words:
From a defensive point of view, what kind of Milan should we expect?
"Closer to the game against Real. Considering Empoli’s characteristics, they play very directly with five players positioned ahead of our defensive line."
This leads to the choice of Yunus Musah...
"Yes, Musah helps us find that balance. He will mainly contribute to the defensive line, but in general, we all need to find balance."
From an offensive perspective, will this be a transitional game? Fonseca replied:
"Given Empoli’s characteristics, I expect a game where they’ll press man-to-man. We’ll need mobility and, once we win the ball, attack quickly."
How do you turn the boos from the last home game into applause?
"By playing well and winning the game. That’s the main thing. Today, we have an opportunity to bring the fans on our side."
