AC Milan coach Paulo Fonseca insisted Rafael Leao knew exactly why he was benched before coming on as a second-half substitute and scoring the winner in a 3-2 Champions League win at Slovan Bratislava. Christian Pulisic put the Rossoneri ahead before the Slovakian champions equalised shortly after but

Leao doubled the lead again in the second half before Tammy Abraham added another. “

We understood everything, Fonseca knows I don’t like being on the bench but if he decides to do that I am ready to help the team,” the 25-year-old Portuguese forward said after the game. “I

am happy with the team, the coach is doing a good job. ทางเข้า https://ufabet999.app We need to understand his style more and then the result will come. “

I think we should have scored more than three goals in this game, we created a lot of chances. And it is necessary to increase the aggression in the penalty area.”

The result made Milan collect nine points from the first five matches, the chance of automatically qualifying is still open, while Fonseca also spoke about the role of the international player:

“I always speak with Leo, he knows why he did not start today and he understands very well.” The head coach who arrived from Lille was interviewed.

“When Leo is on the pitch he can decide the game, that’s what everyone wants. Today we were superior throughout the game and deserved to win. “

There are many things we have to improve, maybe because today we changed a lot of positions, but in the second half we came in and did better. The referee made a clear mistake in the moment before we conceded the last goal. We deserved a different result.”
