AC Milan’s match against Juventus ended in a goalless draw, a result that left coach Paulo Fonseca with mixed feelings. Following the game, he addressed the media, expressing his thoughts on the team’s performance and their approach to the match.
Fonseca began by acknowledging the fans’ frustration, stating, “After a match like this, it’s normal to hear boos because I don’t want to come to the stadium and see a game like that. I understand the supporters.” His comments highlighted the expectations surrounding such a high-profile fixture.
Discussing the match itself, Fonseca noted, “I think it was a very tactical game. We had too much respect for Juventus; it was a match without risks.” He pointed out that creating opportunities against a team like Juventus is challenging, admitting that when chances did arise, they were not fully capitalized upon. “We had opportunities, but we made mistakes with the final pass; that was the problem. Let’s not forget this team scored four goals against Inter.”
The coach continued to emphasize his team’s cautious mindset throughout the match: “We did not take risks; the team always wanted to play without taking chances. We have players who can allow us to do more. My feeling is that today we had too few opportunities.”
As he wrapped up his remarks, Fonseca addressed the broader context of their season: “Scudetto? It’s difficult, but I still believe in it. There are many matches left to play.”
