"Zaniolo immense talent. Against Milan …"

FONSECA CONFERENCE MILAN – Today, October 26, at 10 am, at the press room of the Fulvio Bernardini Sports Center, the press conference of Paulo Fonseca. The Giallorossi coach answered journalists' questions on the eve of the match against Milan, scheduled for tomorrow at 6 pm

In conference, Fonseca reveals some of his choices for Milan

"If it is possible to see Mancini in that position again tomorrow? Yes, it is also possible because right now we don't have many alternatives in that role. He did a good performance and I see no need to change. At this moment I take into consideration any possibility, given the reduced number of players. Even in that position, therefore, I do not exclude anything. Perotti has been training for us for a while, he is ready to play. I don't know if it can hold up the 90 minutes, but it's certainly ready. Pastore is true that he played two games in a row, he played more than usual, but right now we can't afford to do too much turn-over. As for the second question, I don't know if it will be Leao or Piatek playing, but our defensive set-up will not change according to the Milan striker. They are two different players. The use of Mancini in that area allows Veretout to act in a more advanced area. It is normal and logical that this is the case and I believe that it will be repeated tomorrow ”.

Fonseca's priorities for Milan

"That with Borussia was the game in which we ran the most and at high intensity on a heavy field. My concern at this moment is to recover the team from the physical point of view for the match against Milan which will be cooler because it has not had the commitments in Europe. The team is doing well because we cannot change the recent past. Now we have to think about the next game, this must be our state of mind. There are things we can't affect, but right now we need to focus on Milan. We made mistakes in the last choice and in the last 30 meters. It's something that can be trained, even if we don't have time in some situations. Often, however, it also concerns the inexperience of some young people like Kluivert, Zaniolo and Antonucci. It is also part of a process of growing players. This is a team that plays and creates, we must improve in the last decision. During the break we have worked a lot on this aspect and we will continue to do so also on the next occasions ".

Su Rodwell and Buchel

"I don't want to talk about this, you know I talk about a player only when he is officially part of the squad. If there will be news we will talk about it at length. Now the focus is only on tomorrow's match against Milan ".

Fuzato and the national call-up

"The convocation of Fuzato was a nice surprise for all of us. Obviously the Brazilian national team has the task of evaluating the work of each player. I have already praised the work of Marco Savorani here and the convocation of Fuzato is a pride for all of us. Miki still does not train with us, while Under will do the first training today. Obviously he won't play tomorrow, but it will be an option for the next matches. "

Zaniolo and Capello's statements

"I honestly didn't see or hear Capello's exact interactions, I prefer not to comment. Here at Rome we all believe immensely in Zaniolo's abilities, his talent is extraordinary and immense. He must continue to work to grow, the only thing I know is that from the first day I am here, Zaniolo has always been exemplary, he has worked with the utmost commitment and this is what interests me ".

Florenzi and Dzeko: who has the captain's armband?

"I don't think so, I think it's a closed topic. It was a noble gesture by Florenzi at the time of Dzeko's renewal, but the question was not discussed further. Florenzi is the team captain, Dzeko is another ".
