“I believe in teamwork and I try to get Leao to play like the others”

Paulo Fonseca on DAZN comments on the Rossoneri’s success on the Monza pitch:

On Leao and teamwork
“I really believe in teamwork. We need to be a team at all times and we try to get Rafa to play like the others, as a team. If we are all together it is easier for us and that is what we want: to be a true team at all times.”

In the second half with the three-man midfield you countered Monza better
“We had difficulties with the wingers, it was difficult for Tijji and Fofana to help our full-backs. I think that by switching to a three-man midfield we totally controlled Monza, we created, the team played with personality and we had good moments playing first against a team that man-marks. We had good offensive moments, missing the opportunities we created.”

Undergoal lacks malice and Real Madrid are there on Tuesday
“It will be a different match in Madrid but it’s true, we create chances but we have to choose our decisions better and finish better. The team is arriving at this moment well, with great quality of play and connection between the players.”

Sul clean sheet
“It’s important, it brings confidence defensively. We have reached a point where we understand that the team is working together defensively and this is important for me. We can do better, we must not allow the situations we have suffered but it is normal that the other teams can have scoring situations.”
