Ahead of the clash between AC Milan and Lecce this evening, Youssouf Fofana spoke to the media and shared his thoughts on the task at hand. After winning the derby against Inter, the midfielder admitted that building momentum is very important.
Milan bounced back in the best way possible against Inter and although many fans are happy still, another big test awaits tonight. Because if another poor performance stops the Rossoneri in their tracks, they will be back to square one.
Speaking to DAZN ahead of the game, as cited by MilanNews, the midfielder Fofana shared his thoughts on what the Rossoneri will have to do. He admitted that the No.1 goal is to build some momentum and establish consistency performance-wise.
The importance of this match after the derby…
“It’s important to continue. The derby was very important, and so is having continuity.”
His role in the midfield and Fonseca’s praise in the press conference…
“I like Fonseca’s words. I put my characteristics at the service of the team”.
No changes have been made to the starting XI and this means that Fofana starts alongside Tijjani Reijnders. Both did a good job in the derby even if the Dutchman was far more important, so perhaps the Frenchman will have a small point to prove this evening.
