CARNAGO (VARESE) (ITALPRESS) – A week ago he looked like a sort of dead man walking, with his fate already sealed, then came the derby and from scapegoat he found himself hero. “We Latinos are like that, if we win we are the best, if we lose we are … Better that I don’t say it – smiles Paulo Fonseca on the eve of the match with Lecce – But for me nothing has changed, we have to keep working, learning, improving. I have to be balanced but I understand the irrationality of the fans.” Certainly the success over Inter can be the turning point of the season for Milan but even though “victories bring confidence, another atmosphere, especially in a derby where we haven’t won for so long, I always try to be balanced, it’s just one game, we have to forget the derby and focus on the next match. The one with Lecce is a very important game. We have to confirm that we are growing, I think the derby win makes sense if we beat Lecce and confirm that we are improving. We have to recover points.” According to Fonseca that with the Salentini “is a dangerous game after the derby, we have to be careful: after you win more important games it is more difficult but we cannot afford to make mistakes. Victories are the most difficult things to manage. The day before the game with Inter I knew the players were motivated, ready. The danger now is the game with Lecce, making the players understand that we have to play the same way is difficult.” Fonseca admits that right now “the mental part is very important, maybe more than the tactical or technical part. You have to be well, balanced and motivated.” In terms of formation, the Rossoneri coach would like to give continuity to the one seen in the derby “but Morata is in doubt due to bursitis. However, we do not want to take risks, let’s see tomorrow, If he does not make it, Loftus-Cheek or Reijnders could play in that role.” Finally, on Leao: “He is working well defensively, he can do better but he is growing. With Inter we defended as a team, with all the players, Rafa included, and he also had three opportunities to be decisive in attack. For me Rafa is doing a good job, he is playing for the team and this is the most important thing.” – photo Ipa Agency -(ITALPRESS).
