Fonseca: The Postponement of the Last Match Disrupted Our Preparation for This Game, and the Wing Battles Will Decide the Outcome

On October 30, in the 10th round of the 2024/25 Serie A season, AC Milan will face off against Napoli. Ahead of the match, Milan’s head coach Fonseca attended a press conference.

About Napoli

As the league table shows, Napoli is currently a strong team. They lead Serie A, and they are highly motivated to face us. We are also looking forward to this game. The opponent is currently a favorite for the league title, but Milan is not far behind.

About the Impact of the Postponed Previous Match

Dealing with this situation was challenging. On the eve of the match, we were still preparing seriously without knowing if the game would go ahead as scheduled. We hoped the match would proceed as planned. I believe the postponement affected our preparation for the subsequent matches. But that’s in the past, and we must move forward. We have two key players suspended, but everyone’s training condition is good, and I have confidence in all the players who will replace Theo and Rinaud.

About Kamada

Since he was promoted to the first team, his training has been very diligent. He is an excellent player, and he has confirmed to me that he meets my requirements. He has a bright future.

About Leao

I understand the curiosity surrounding Leao. He is fine, as always. There are no issues. We believe he will soon become the player we expect him to be, and I won’t say whether he will start tomorrow. His substitution in the last match was based on the needs of the game at that time, and it was not a punishment.

About the Serie A Title Race

The opponent is currently a favorite for the league title, but Milan is not far behind. Fans must believe that Milan is still a strong team, and we are making progress. I believe we have the strength to compete for the Serie A title.

About Conte

Tomorrow will be a different game, and we will face a team with balanced defensive capabilities. Perhaps we need to spend more time in the opposition’s 30-meter zone. Against their low-block defense, we need to improve our ability to solve problems.

About Key Players

The battle between the wingers in this game will be decisive, but overall, I prefer Pulisic to cut inside more.
