The Giallorossi coach Paulo Fonseca spoke to ‘Sky Sport’ at the end of the match won 3-1 against Braga, in the second leg of the round of 32 of the Europa League. The Portuguese coach has not received good news in view of the next league match, Sunday night against Milan (even the Rossoneri are ahead in Europe despite the double draw against Red Star, ed), given that Edin Dzeko is came out with a annoyance (for him there is discomfort in the left adductor and will have to be evaluated). “It was a well managed, safe match – said the Portuguese –. We won and it was the most important thing, how to manage the players. Emergency and players in other roles? Attitude in these situations matters a lot. Karsdorp and Veretout played very well out of position ”.

“I like it when my players make sacrifices and play well. Dzeko? Let’s see what happened, I think it’s nothing serious, but we have to do the evaluations tomorrow. I liked both Dzeko and Borja Mayoral. They worked a lot for the team and it’s good to have this one competition“. Then he talked about the next challenge: “The match against Milan is very important, it’s the next one, so it’s the most important. It’s a great team, which is doing well. It is important to recover the players. Honestly, I only thought about the match against Braga. Let’s see what choice I will make against Milan in attack“. Turnover right? Changing players was important. We faced this match against Braga, with the possibility of managing, except in defense where choices were forced. The first leg victory was important. Where do we want to go? There are all strong teams, at this moment it is difficult to choose an opponent, we have to wait for the draw tomorrow, but we want to go as far as possible “.
