The Rossoneri coach shared his thoughts before the game with the Bundesliga champion.

Milan head coach Paulo Fonseca commented on the upcoming match in another round of the main stage of the Champions League against Bayer.

" We need to be even stronger in defense, which the team has already added. This is a good test for assessing our defense capabilities.

To overcome a team as great as Bayer, you need to be perfect in defense. We made a lot of compromises against Liverpool, especially in defense, but sometimes lacked precision in the attack.

I always hope. A completely different match.

We performed well in the remaining games of Serie A, but that’s another story, equaled with the Champions League.

I felt the words of Xabi Alonso, and I didn’t want me to be a team that plays classic defense and counterattacks. We are not like that and we don’t want to be like that. I’m happy with what we achieved in Liza, and I’m not surprised at how we adapt to a different type of game,” the club’s press service quotes Fonseca.

The match Bayer - Milan will take place today, June 1, at 22:00 outside Kiev.
