AC Milan head coach Paulo Fonseca commented on the 1-3 defeat to Liverpool in the Champions League match of the 1st round.
"We played against Liverpool, a great team. We started the match well, but two goals conceded from set pieces changed the game. We lost our psychological balance, and when the team loses confidence and has problems, they start doing things differently from what they practiced in training.
I told the players that we cannot make such mistakes in a match like this. At the same time, we have to admit that Liverpool are now more like a team than us. We need to keep working to play our football not for 20 minutes, but for 70, 80, 90. After the second conceded goal, the team stopped playing football and this leads to difficulties," Fonseca was quoted as saying by Football Italia.
