It was not the beginning that the brand new coach was in search of, however nonetheless ended up higher than anticipated after they had been trailing 2-0 on the 88th minute.
A weird Malick Thiaw personal aim and Duvan Zapata free header had given Torino the benefit, however substitutes Alvaro Morata and Noah Okafor managed to claw their manner again in stoppages to a 2-2 draw.
“I didn’t count on earlier than the sport that we might be good at this stage, however I have to say our first 45 minutes was not good. We had been passive defensively. The second half was completely different, we had been extra aggressive, gained the ball again earlier and had sufficient alternatives to win the match,” Fonseca advised Sky Sport Italia.
“We all know what these video games are like, we should proceed working, as a result of there’s a lot that must be improved.”
Even these targets had been assisted by gamers who had come off the bench, Tijjani Reijnders and Yunus Musah, so did Fonseca get the improper beginning XI or was it vital?

Fonseca needs a extra aggressive Milan method
This efficiency was a shock, particularly contemplating Milan had in all probability one of the best pre-season outcomes of any massive Italian membership.
The defence seemed shaky this night, however is that this why they’ve been attempting to usher in Youssouf Fofana to assist defend them with the midfield?
“I believe it’s a collective concern, it’s not simply in regards to the defenders. Within the first half, we weren’t urgent excessive and that made it simpler for Torino to assault us.

Within the first half, we allowed Torino time and house to arrange their strikes calmly.”
Rafael Leao wasted a number of scoring alternatives and that has been an issue all through his profession.
“I don’t assume it’s a technical concern, it’s simply that he must be extra lively,” argued Fonseca.
“Rafa was defensively a special participant for me right now, he labored actually arduous. Somebody along with his talent must be near the aim, be extra dynamic and extra lively to all the time get close to the aim.”
