FONSECA: “WE KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO WIN”

The Rossoneri are back in Champions League action with Slovan Bratislava v AC Milan. On the eve of the matchday 5 fixture, Coach Fonseca and Tammy Abraham presented the match in the press conference. 

PAULO FONSECA

THE RISK OF UNDERESTIMATING
"We've spoken about the importance of winning tomorrow, we can't look at Slovan's results to this point. We know the importance of having the right attitude and not underestimating this side. Everyone likes to play in the Champions League and I hope that this day gives the right motivation needed". 

TEAM PICKS
"We will see who will be picked tomorrow, Leão is an important player and is playing well at the moment, but I trust all of the players. If he doesn't play, someone else will, a team wanting to win will go onto the pitch. Abraham will start. At this time it is difficult to rest Fofana, Emerson hasn't trained recently due to injury so Calabria will play". 

THE TRUE NATURE OF AC MILAN
"At this moment in time I know that we are, at the same time, the side have played well against the big sides and then not as well against the smaller sides. We are working so that we always have the right attitude, and in this sense we are growing".  

AFTER JUVENTUS
"We know what we have done well and other things that we have not done well, it's normal to be whistled at in our line of work. We must understand the situation and continue giving everything so that the fans are on our side. We respect their opinions and criticism" .

THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE CAMPAIGN
"We have the chance to win the four remaining games, starting from tomorrow. We are playing for our future in the competition, we have to be ambitious". 

SLOVAN BRATISLAVA
"I know this side well, I faced them last year with Lille and we drew; the team has changed but they are still very physical and the atmosphere will be tense. Things might become more difficult if we don't have the right attitude". 

TAMMY ABRAHAM

WHAT SORT OF GAME DO YOU EXPECT
"We are a good side, I want to show my qualities, we want to put on a good display and we are confident. We have worked a lot and come off the back of a win against Real Madrid in the Champions League, we know that we will face a big test here too". 

PHYSICAL CONDITION 
"I feel good now, I try to work harder everyday to get to the level I was at before the injury. I am happy to be part of this team and want to give 100%. We all want to win, the Champions League is a really important competition and we have players who have already won it: we know what we need to do". 

SLOVAN BRATISLAVA
"I've played in this competition and I know that there are lots of strong teams, Slovan won't be an easy team to face and they'll have their fans behind them. We will need to give our all to get a good result, I believe in this team".
