Fonseca: I was more excited before the game with Cagliari than before the match with Real Madrid

An unexpected statement from the Rossoneri coach.

In the 11th round of Serie A, Milan will play against Cagliari.

Rossoneri coach Paulo Fonseca shared his expectations from the Italian Championship game. The Portuguese said that the game against an outsider in the elite division worries him more than the match against Real Madrid and explained why.

“Honestly, I’m more worried about this match than the previous one.

There are many explanations for this. First of all, I must say that these games are very motivating for players.

Actually, players prepare for these matches with more motivation. That’s why I’m more excited now before the match against Cagliari than Real Madrid. The worst thing that can happen against clubs like Real Madrid is to not have the guts to play. There is space in these games, but the problem is that many teams are afraid to play these matches. It is important to let the players know that they have space to play and time to control the game. When we start doing it on the field, our confidence increases. That’s why I said sometimes it’s more difficult to compete with Monza or Cagliari.

I am sure that tomorrow we will not have that space, so in this context the team must have courage, control the game and play together,” said Fonseca.

Let’s remember that in 10 rounds Milan has only 17 points, however, the Portuguese team beat their main rivals Inter.
