In the press conference today (read in full HERE), AC Milan's boss, Paulo Fonseca, was asked an interesting question:
Do you see yourself as a modern, innovative coach who knows how to surprise? How are you adapting to this reality in Italy?
What did Fonseca say?
"I don’t like talking about myself. That’s for you to do. What I can say is that I feel very, very good in Italy. It’s incredibly stimulating for a foreign coach. Things are different here; it’s more challenging to find a new way of seeing things. Serie A is clearly unique for me. Recently, I was talking with my staff, saying that only by being here can you understand just how different it is."
Fonseca continued:
"Coaches who aren’t here don’t have a precise idea of what Serie A offers and how it challenges you as a manager. Winning here is extremely difficult. European teams now have opportunities to face Italian clubs. Look at the results. How are they? So imagine facing Italian teams every week. It’s tough."
