AC Milan head coach Paulo Fonseca shared his impressions of the first-round match of the Itadia Championship against Torino (2-2 strong-willed draw), which was his first official match as the Rossoneri coach:
"I have to say that we didn't play very well in the first half. We were passive in defense. In the first half, we did not have high pressure, and this made it easier for the opponent to attack.
I did not expect us to look perfect at this stage. We have to play faster and not give the opponent time to think. The second half was different, we were more aggressive, won the ball more often and had chances to win the match.
As for Leau's missed chances, it's not about technique. He needs to be a little more active and dynamic, to be closer to the goal. Today Rafa showed himself in defense, he acted very diligently," Fonseca said.
