00:00Good morning everyone. Welcome to Casa Milan. Welcome to Paolo Fonseca.
00:08Today is finally the first day of activities and training.
00:17Milanello will be open for everyone.
00:23Today we talk about the present. A few days ago we talked about the future.
00:27We are very happy that the day has come to introduce Paolo Fonseca.
00:36As I said, this is one of the movements of our strategy and ideas that we have,
00:45where we have studied and are studying for many things that are coming.
00:52We are not in a hurry. We are very charged, very hungry and very eager to start this new adventure.
01:08We are happy above all, but as I said, charged with this beautiful new initiative, adventure.
01:19Please.
01:28Good morning everyone.
01:31First, I have to thank the way they welcomed me here these days.
01:39Then, I also want to thank the Society for their trust in me and my work.
01:50Then, I must say that I am very motivated, very excited and confident to do a great job here.
02:03I know that I am coming to a club that I want to win.
02:11I have been in this beautiful museum and I have seen the history of Milan.
02:20I must say that I have a great ambition to be part of this history.
02:26Zlatan has also shown me the space for the new trophy, the title.
02:34I want to be part of this history.
02:42Now, I am ready to start this journey.
02:49I can't wait to start working.
02:56Thank you, coach. Thank you, Zlatan.
02:59Let's start with the questions from the journalists.
03:02We have an order, so I start by giving the floor to Mauro Suma for Milan TV.
03:07Thank you, Pierre. Good morning, Zlatan. Good morning, coach.
03:11Coach, you have a great career. You have always followed in your career as a footballer, as a coach, the history of Milan.
03:19In the first row, we have Franco Baresi and Daniele Massaro, the era of the three Dutchmen.
03:25The eras change, but Milan is always Milan.
03:30Is it a moment of your career, a moment of your professional adventure or a moment of your destiny?
03:45I am here with great ambition.
03:47I know that every coach who comes to Milan is here to win.
03:55I have watched many times Baresi and the others, many players who have made history for Milan.
04:08I am aware that it is a great responsibility, but it is also a great pride for me.
04:18Milan is universal. It is a universal club.
04:22I know the responsibility I have in my hands, but I am confident that I will make Milan win and continue this great history.
04:39Thank you, coach.
04:41Peppe Di Stefano, Sky Italia.
04:43Hello, coach. Welcome.
04:45Thank you.
04:47Looking at the results of the last season, looking at the rose, how far is the team in terms of construction?
04:54Is there much or little left?
04:56And if this Milan, knowing you and knowing the Italian league, can really aspire to win the Scudetto?
05:03I have to say that I am here, also because I believe in the players we have.
05:13I believe a lot in the rose.
05:16I think it is not new that we need players.
05:24Not a lot, because I think we have a lot of quality.
05:28But it is true that we have another position that we have to bring players to improve the team.
05:39Claudio Raimondi, Mediaset.
05:44Hello, coach. Welcome.
05:46Thank you.
05:48First of all, I would like to ask if your most important experience at this point in Milan is a point of arrival.
05:56And quickly, if the last foreign coach to win a league in Italy was a Portuguese player, José Mourinho, with the treble in 2010.
06:04Since then, no foreign coach has won a league in Italy. Is that a stimulus?
06:09I want to be one more.
06:12I am different from Mourinho, but I am proud to have a Portuguese player who has won a league here in Italy.
06:22I only want to do it in another club, in Milan.
06:26But as I said, I have great ambition.
06:31I am responsible for being a coach in Milan.
06:35And I want to win. I want to win.
06:39Very clear. Marco Russo, Dazong.
06:43Hello, Fonseca. Welcome back to Italy.
06:47Can you help us imagine what Milan is like in your head?
06:52On the pitch, what kind of Milan is it?
06:56Do you have any key concepts in mind?
07:00And I am curious, on such an important day, I can't help but notice the thorn in your side today.
07:11I think that Milan is a club with a history of playing attacking football.
07:20And to win, we have to be a dominant team.
07:27That is what I want to build here.
07:30A brave team. A more dominant team.
07:34An attacking team. A reactive team.
07:39A team that doesn't let the other teams think and play.
07:44But I want to win first.
07:49The quality of the game is important to me.
07:54And I want to build a team that makes the fans proud.
08:02I think that is important.
08:06And building a team with a strong identity is an important point for me.
08:14This is a personal question.
08:20I think that we have the responsibility not to forget what is happening in Ukraine.
08:30Andrea Ramazzotti, Gazzetta dello Sport.
08:33Hello, good morning coach.
08:36You spoke about Rosa that needs to be completed.
08:40I have a question about a specific department, the attacking team.
08:45I don't want to name names, but I want to understand what characteristics will have the number 9 that will complete your Rosa.
08:56Thank you.
08:58We all know that we need an attacking team.
09:03We are together trying to find the right attacking team with the right characteristics.
09:16If we are a team that wants to play in the last 30 metres,
09:22we need to have a strong attacking team at this moment.
09:28For us it is clear who we want.
09:31We know the player we want.
09:35We expect to have here the player we want.
09:43Monica Colombo, Corriere della Sera.
09:47Good morning, Paolo.
09:49Good morning.
09:51I wanted to ask you.
09:53The people of Rosso Nero are waiting for a win after six derbies.
10:00I wanted to ask you if you think that the gap from Inter is filling.
10:10What do you feel about promising the fans a key to a city duel?
10:15What I can promise is to fight in every game to win.
10:21It won't be different with Inter.
10:24We know that we have a strong team here.
10:31Inter is one of the strongest teams.
10:34But we need to play with courage, without fear of anything.
10:41Always with the ambition to win.
10:43It won't be different with Inter.
10:48Federico Masini, Tuttosport.
10:51Good morning, coach.
10:53I wanted to ask you about Leao.
10:56What does he mean to you and what do you expect from him?
11:01Leao is an important player for AC Milan.
11:06He is a decisive player.
11:08I expect him to be motivated and ready to play for the team.
11:21I think that Leao is a young player.
11:25He has the ability to learn every day.
11:31I want to work with him to learn from him.
11:39But I want to help the team.
11:45Antonio Vitiello, Corriere dello Sport.
11:50Good morning.
11:52I was hoping to ask you about Zlatan or Fonseca.
11:57It's the 8th of July and we haven't won anything yet.
12:01The Milan fans are very cold and skeptical.
12:05I wanted to ask you when we will get the money.
12:09At what point are we with the striker?
12:12He is a fundamental role to play.
12:15What happened with Zirkzee?
12:18I wanted to ask you about the transfer market.
12:21As I said before, this is one of the moves we made.
12:27We are studying and talking but we are not in a hurry.
12:31The transfer market is long.
12:33I can guarantee that new acquisitions will come.
12:39As I said, we are discussing but nothing is decided.
12:47As for Zirkzee, it's in the past.
12:50As Paolo said, we have someone in mind.
12:55We don't say the names but we have someone in mind.
13:06Thank you.
13:08Do you want to say something?
13:11We have a phrase in Portuguese.
13:14We have a phrase in Portuguese.
13:18I don't know if it's in Italy.
13:20The enemy of perfection.
13:23We have a punctual situation.
13:30As Zlatan said, we know what we want.
13:34In the right time, we will have the players.
13:39Franco Orde, Il Giornale.
13:44Good morning.
13:46I wanted to ask two things.
13:48First, last season, when the league was just over,
13:52Milan scored 99 goals.
13:57But they also conceded a lot of goals.
14:01The problem is how to build a home.
14:08Usually, instead of starting from the roof,
14:11you start from the foundations.
14:13For you, is the acquisition of a defender more important
14:19or the arrival of the number 9?
14:22And how do you plan to deal with all those goals
14:27that were conceded in the last tournament?
14:29Obviously, I studied the team.
14:33I don't want to compare what the team was like.
14:39But I have to look at what I have to learn.
14:45One of the things we have to improve,
14:49because if we want to win,
14:52we have to be a more balanced team.
14:54I studied this defensive issue.
15:01It's something we have to improve and learn.
15:07But I think this is related to the way we defend.
15:15What I can say is that we want to build a more aggressive,
15:20more pressing team that defends further away from our goal.
15:26This is one of the concerns I have
15:30and I will work to improve this defensive moment.
15:37Then, I think we have good defenders.
15:42I don't think it's an individual problem.
15:46I think we have to improve collectively.
15:50And I honestly think that the priority is the attacker
15:55at this moment.
15:57Then, to bring in players, you have to create space.
16:02As I said three weeks ago,
16:07we don't want to have a squad of 30 players.
16:11A squad of 23 players.
16:14Then, as I said, new players will arrive.
16:17But we also have to create space.
16:20So that the coach doesn't have too many players
16:25and it won't be ineffective to be in the squad.
16:31We have to think about this too.
16:35Not only who comes on, but also who leaves.
16:39Then, who comes on is obviously to improve the team.
16:43And not only to bring in players, because we have to.
16:45As I said, maybe I'm repeating myself too much,
16:50but it's all been studied to improve the squad
16:53both offensively and defensively.
16:55But to bring in players, you also have to create space.
16:58It's not just bringing in players.
17:01It's not American football where we have 40-50 players.
17:05This is also important.
17:08Stefano Scacchi, La Stampa.
17:12Good morning, coach.
17:14I don't know if you noticed, but there was a bit of skepticism
17:18from the fans at the time of your decision, your appointment.
17:22Maybe someone wanted another type of coach.
17:25I'm asking you, what do you feel you have to say
17:28to convince these Milan fans, the fans of Milan,
17:31that you made the right choice by calling you?
17:33Thank you.
17:35I have a great desire to start
17:39and to be able to convince the fans.
17:43What I want is to convince the fans
17:47that we will be an ambitious team,
17:50a team that will play to win.
17:56It's my responsibility,
18:00and it's me who has to convince the fans.
18:03I'm sure the fans will be with us at all times.
18:08I'm confident that together we will be very strong.
18:19Umberto Zappelloni, Del Foglio.
18:23Good morning, coach.
18:25How long will it take to see your hand on Milan?
18:29And won't the derby, which the Milan fans are looking forward to,
18:32come too soon for you to build the team?
18:38I think that in the first game against Turin
18:45I expect to see my ideas on the pitch.
18:51Obviously this is a process that takes time.
18:55We have to understand that we are starting today
18:59without important players.
19:03Some players arrive later than others.
19:09Will we be a perfect team on the first day of the season or in the derby?
19:16I don't think so.
19:18But I think that on the first day of the season
19:22you can start to see a different team.
19:29Francesco Rocchi, Rai TV.
19:34Good morning, coach.
19:37Thank you.
19:39I wanted to know, you inherited a Milan side,
19:43a side that came in second in the last season.
19:49So a new coach always has to do better than his predecessor.
19:56What does the word Scudetto mean to you?
20:04Win.
20:06As I said, I don't know if it was here.
20:13You also arrived late.
20:17When we arrive late, it's a lot.
20:20It's a lot.
20:26But being out of Milan is always in time.
20:33I repeat what I said.
20:36Some coaches arrive in Milan to win.
20:40I'm not different.
20:42I'm here to win.
20:44I accept this without any problem.
20:47It's the truth.
20:48We can't run away from this truth.
20:54Next to Francesco is Majid Zbawi from Bain Sports.
20:59Good morning, coach.
21:02Who are the players you know in person?
21:08In person?
21:10I've played against lots of players.
21:14I don't have a personal relationship with anyone.
21:19But I know all of Milan's players.
21:25Let's move on to Wang Meng from Titan Sports.
21:32Good morning, coach.
21:34What do you think of Florenzi?
21:37He's the only player who has played for Roma.
21:41What do you think of him?
21:45He's no longer part of the team.
21:49Right now, I'm counting on all the players who belong to the club.
21:55Florenzi is one of those players.
21:59Francesco Letizia, Sport Italia.
22:02Good morning, coach. Welcome.
22:05My question is about the full-backs.
22:08They're underrated in general terms,
22:10but they're very important in your game.
22:14Ismaili is the player you've used the most in your career.
22:18He's a left-back.
22:20To the right, as you can see, is the current full-back.
22:24To the left is Toto Hernandez.
22:27I ask Ibra the same question,
22:30considering what Theo said a few days ago.
22:33He said, I don't know if I'll stay at Milan.
22:36You said you'd stay.
22:38No, Theo is a player from Milan.
22:42We're lucky to have three players in the Europa League semi-final.
22:48Theo is one of them.
22:50He's a player from Milan for us and for him.
22:56We know he's very happy here.
22:59His family is well.
23:01He has a new coach.
23:03He'll have a lot more space to play the way he likes.
23:08He used to play like that before,
23:11but with Paolo Fonseca's identity,
23:14he'll be able to build on that.
23:17It'll go very well. I'm not worried.
23:23Theo is a very important player for us.
23:32I think we can play in different structures.
23:38I need to understand the characteristics of the players we have.
23:43If we have a player like Theo, who is very good at attacking,
23:49I can't take him as a player.
23:52But maybe in the dressing room,
23:56depending on the different structures,
23:59we can play with a blocked back in a few games.
24:04On the right, we can play with a forward back.
24:10It depends on the strategy and the structure we want for each game.
24:17The positive thing is that we have a solution for the different structures we want.
24:29Good morning, welcome.
24:31I don't know.
24:33Someone asked,
24:35between the present and the future,
24:38maybe a more experienced player,
24:40having lost Giroud and Kier, for example,
24:43and in this sense,
24:45if Alvaro Morata is an attacker you'd like to have.
24:50I don't want to talk about names.
24:54As we said,
24:57we clearly know who the players we want are.
25:04What we know is that we want great quality for this position,
25:11which is very important for the team.
25:14We lost Giroud.
25:19When we change, we change to improve.
25:22For us, it's clear.
25:24The position of an attacker
25:26must be a player who brings a lot to the team.
25:31We know the characteristics,
25:33we know the player we want.
25:35We're working on it.
25:37I strongly believe that we will have this player soon.
25:43Pietro Mazzara, Milan.
25:47Good morning, coach.
25:49Good morning, coach.
25:51Among the many things you inherited,
25:53you inherited a situation in recent years
25:56linked to injuries that have greatly affected the team's performance.
26:01What is your intention with your staff
26:03to change the way you work,
26:05including on prevention,
26:07to avoid losing a lot of players for a long period of time?
26:10Maybe Zlatan can give us some more information.
26:14In the list of players called for the meeting,
26:15there are no Ballotture and Origi.
26:17I would like to ask if this non-call
26:20is due to market reasons,
26:22because they are close to the transfer window.
26:24For Origi and Ballotture, they have been called.
26:27But they will be in Milan Futuro,
26:30because they are not part of the first team project.
26:36Injuries.
26:40Obviously, I wasn't here.
26:43I don't know in depth
26:48the reasons for the injury.
26:52But since yesterday,
26:55we have started talking to people,
26:58with Milan Lab,
27:00and we are all working together
27:02to avoid injuries.
27:05We know that now,
27:08and the studies show this,
27:10that injuries are more common
27:13with so many competitions
27:15than with so many games.
27:18But I am confident
27:21that we won't have big problems.
27:25But it's also a package of everything.
27:28It's not just about the coach and his staff.
27:32We have also done a lot of work
27:35to change the medical part,
27:37because we also have experience
27:40in January and February,
27:43when we had a lot of injuries
27:48and we weren't 100% satisfied.
27:52A lot of things happened
27:55in the medical part,
27:57together with the coach's staff.
28:00We think we have found the right path.
28:04Thank you.
28:06Antonio Martelli, La Presse.
28:10Good morning, coach.
28:12I wanted to ask you
28:14what do you take away
28:16from your first experience in Italy?
28:19And how much have you matured
28:22in these years away from home?
28:27I don't know if you know,
28:30but I have a great passion for Italy.
28:35I had a great experience in Rome.
28:40I think that football,
28:43and having the chance to work
28:46in another championship,
28:49is a very special championship.
28:53But I think that my experience in Rome
28:58was very important.
29:00I think that my experience in Rome
29:03was very important
29:05to make the decision
29:07to return to Italy.
29:10Obviously, there are different contexts,
29:15but I know the championship well.
29:21I know the other coaches well.
29:25I know the characteristics
29:27of Serie A football.
29:31I am very ready
29:34to start on this path.
29:37Fabio Conte, Area.
29:40Good morning, Paolo.
29:42There has been a lot of controversy
29:45in Italy after the elimination
29:47of the European players,
29:49as well as the lack of qualification
29:51for the previous World Cups.
29:53There has also been controversy
29:54about football teams.
29:57What do you think about the Italian championship?
30:00What do you think about the level
30:02of the Italian championship?
30:04And how do you want to interact
30:06with Milan in the future
30:08to increase the level
30:10of the entire Milan structure?
30:16The championship here is strong.
30:19I think that Serie A
30:22is one of the most difficult
30:25championships in the world.
30:28But it has its own characteristics.
30:34I know that at the moment
30:38there is a lot of concern
30:41about the possibility
30:45of having more Italian players.
30:48I think that we are an example
30:50at the moment
30:53of creating a future for Milan.
30:58I think that we are preparing
31:01very well for the present
31:03and future of Milan.
31:05I have already seen
31:08and know young Italian players
31:11with quality.
31:15For me, I have no problem
31:17with having young Italian players
31:20with courage and quality.
31:23I think that here we have
31:25quality players.
31:28Francesco Bonfanti,
31:30Ital Pre.
31:32Good morning, coach.
31:34Good morning.
31:36I would like to know
31:38when were the first contacts
31:40with Milan?
31:42And how useful is a presence
31:44like Zlatan's
31:45in your experience
31:47with Milan?
31:49It is very important.
31:51Zlatan is a reference
31:53for all of us,
31:55especially here at Milan.
32:00I think that
32:03when we spoke
32:05and I think it is not important
32:07when we started
32:09what was important
32:11was the communion.
32:13I don't know if there is
32:15an idea
32:17that the club,
32:19Zlatan,
32:21Jeff and Giorgio want
32:23is what I can bring
32:25to the team.
32:27This was the most important.
32:31I think that
32:33we are all
32:35confident
32:37in the future and present
32:39of Milan
32:41because our ideas
32:43are common.
32:46For Milan.
32:50Let's continue
32:52with Paolo Vinci.
32:57Welcome coach.
32:59You spoke about
33:01excellent defenders
33:03but the problem is
33:05the centre forward.
33:07Of the 69 goals
33:09you scored in Milan
33:11it is the defensive phase
33:13with midfielders
33:15that is the problem.
33:17I would like to know
33:19how you want to intervene.
33:21What I said
33:23is that for me
33:25what I have seen
33:27is not so much
33:29an individual problem
33:31but a sectorial
33:33and collective problem.
33:35I think it is
33:37interconnected
33:39with the way
33:41we defend.
33:43What I want to change
33:45is to be more aggressive
33:47and pressure
33:49the other teams.
33:51A more reactive team
33:53when we lose the ball
33:55and a higher team
33:57to defend.
34:00I think if we improve
34:02this
34:04this collective commitment
34:06at this moment
34:08obviously after
34:10the situation
34:12which is sectorial
34:13and has different
34:15characteristics
34:17but we have to
34:19find a way
34:21that leaves
34:23the team comfortable
34:25in the defensive phase.
34:28This balance
34:30I think
34:32is very important
34:34so we don't
34:36concede so many goals.
34:38Simone Cristau,
34:40Radio Rossonera.
34:44Good morning, coach.
34:46I wanted to ask about the midfield.
34:49Last year
34:51the midfield suffered
34:53from a lack of balance.
34:55Do you still want to play with two or three players?
34:58Or do you need a defender?
35:00A midfielder
35:02who can be a bit more physical?
35:04Can you build the midfield
35:06compared to last year?
35:10As I said
35:11I don't want to compare
35:13what I want to say
35:16is that
35:18I have a different way
35:20of defending
35:22from what they did
35:24last year.
35:28For this reason
35:30I know
35:32that there is a tendency
35:34not only here
35:36but also here in Italy
35:38to play man-to-man.
35:39For example
35:41I think
35:43at some point
35:45we can
35:47do it
35:49but I'm not a coach
35:51who plays
35:53man-to-man.
35:55I think this
35:57will change
35:59the approach
36:01of the midfield.
36:05It's linked
36:07to the way
36:10we play.
36:12If you have to say
36:14all the tactics now
36:16that's fine
36:18because the opponents
36:20already know
36:22what they will do.
36:24Let's move on
36:26to Stefano Bressi
36:28from Pianeta Milan.
36:30Good morning coach
36:32and welcome.
36:34You talked a lot about the league
36:36this season.
36:38We want to go
36:40as far as possible
36:42but we know
36:44how difficult it is
36:46to win a Champions League.
36:48We have the ambition
36:50to win all the games
36:52but
36:54later
36:56we need luck
37:00but we will be in all the games
37:03the Champions League
37:04with the ambition to win.
37:08Giovanni Delia
37:10All Milan.
37:35It's a motivation.
37:44Cristian Pradelli
37:46Milan Press.
38:05We spoke
38:10and I think
38:13it was important
38:16to have this conversation.
38:21One of the things
38:23I liked the most
38:27and Gerry said
38:29something important
38:30was that
38:34Milan
38:36wants to win
38:38not just today
38:40but tomorrow.
38:42What the club is doing
38:45is preparing
38:47to win today
38:49but they also have
38:51a clear plan
38:53for the future.
38:55This was important
38:57for me.
38:58We always have
39:00contact
39:02and I think
39:04it's normal
39:06but it was important
39:08to have this conversation
39:10with Gerry.
39:12Martin Sartorio
39:14Mercato.it
39:16Good morning coach.
39:18Good morning.
39:20I want to go back to the defenders
39:22who will be able to train
39:24from the first day.
39:26Are you satisfied
39:28with the way you play
39:30and if Pierre Calhoun
39:32sees you as a centre-back
39:34or a full-back?
39:36We have the chance
39:38to have Calhoun
39:41play in both positions.
39:44First
39:46I'm happy
39:48to have all the defenders
39:50ready to start
39:52training.
39:54It's important
39:56to start
39:58with the defence
40:00and for me
40:02it's important
40:04to have all the players
40:06and only Theo is missing.
40:08It's positive
40:10to have Calhoun
40:12with different roles.
40:14Obviously
40:16we know
40:18Calhoun is not
40:20a very attacking player
40:22but it depends
40:24on the structure
40:26we play.
40:28I'm satisfied
40:30with the fact
40:32that Calhoun
40:34can play in different positions.
40:36Giacomo Brunetti
40:38from Spogliatoio.
40:40Good morning coach.
40:42You have always been able
40:44to create value
40:46in the teams
40:48you have played in.
40:50Is there anyone
40:52in Milan who
40:54has more value
40:56than anyone else?
40:58I think
41:00we have a lot
41:02of quality here
41:04and we have
41:06different solutions
41:08for different positions.
41:10I think
41:12all the players
41:14will be important.
41:16For me
41:18one of the most
41:20important things
41:22is to see
41:24the players
41:26who work
41:28hard.
41:30If we learn
41:32and improve
41:34the players
41:36the team
41:38will be better.
41:40But I am
41:42concerned
41:44about making
41:46the players
41:48improve.
41:50Let's take a few
41:52more questions
41:54so we can
41:56answer them.
42:21No.
42:22I am never disappointed.
42:23This is part of
42:25what I said
42:27the first time.
42:29What is reality
42:31and what is voice.
42:33It is two different things.
42:35Then there is the
42:37prosecutor
42:39who solves
42:41and the prosecutor
42:43who creates
42:45problems.
42:47In this case
42:49it is neither.
42:51Reality
42:53is that we have
42:55an idea
42:57and we hope
42:59that idea
43:01will come
43:03as soon as possible.
43:09I think
43:11Zlatan said
43:13everything.
43:15For me
43:17I don't
43:19like to talk
43:21about
43:23the players
43:25because
43:27we have
43:29closed
43:31the players.
43:33But for us
43:35it is very clear
43:37the players
43:39we want
43:41and the characteristics
43:43they have.
43:45We have another
43:47question.
43:49Massimiliano Canta.
43:50We have read
43:52that you have chosen
43:54to live in Milanello.
43:56Now, now.
43:58I wanted to ask
44:00if there was a reason.
44:02Because it costs less.
44:04Ibra said the reason.
44:06Thank you.
44:08No, but it is good
44:10in Milanello.
44:12There are some journalists
44:14who live outside Milanello
44:16who want to live inside
44:18but you have to pay
44:20and
44:24it is time to work
44:26a lot.
44:28For us, staff
44:30we don't have
44:32a lot of time available.
44:34I don't have here
44:36my family.
44:39Normally I work
44:41so many hours
44:43that after
44:45there are only hours left
44:47to come to the hotel and sleep.
44:48For me it is easier
44:50to get there.
44:52We have the possibility
44:54with staff
44:56to stay more hours
44:58to work.
45:00That's why
45:02it is more practical
45:04for me
45:06to live in Milanello
45:08which is beautiful.
45:10Alessandro Iacobone.
45:13Welcome, coach.
45:15Thank you.
45:16The day of the presentation
45:18when Zlatan
45:20announced his arrival
45:22the social media
45:24were full of comments.
45:26What struck me
45:28were the comments of the Roma fans.
45:30Simone says
45:32treat Fonseca well,
45:34he is a great man
45:36and a great professional.
45:38Since Roma is a difficult place
45:40now that Milan
45:42is an ambitious place
45:44what do you think
45:46about his transfer to Roma
45:48and what he would like to achieve in Milan?
45:51They are two different teams.
45:53I don't want
45:55to talk much
45:57about the past.
46:00What I want to say
46:02is that
46:04we all know
46:06that Roma is not an easy place
46:08but I have been very happy
46:11in Rome.
46:13I keep in my heart
46:15the moment
46:17in Rome
46:19but now
46:21Rome is in the past.
46:25For the Milan fans
46:27what I want
46:29is to always have
46:31respect for them
46:35and the desire
46:37to build
46:39a team
46:40that makes the fans
46:42proud
46:44in an honest way.
46:46In a clear, honest
46:48and sincere way
46:50because this is
46:52the best way
46:54to live life.
46:56Luca Marinetti
46:58for Milan.
47:00Welcome coach.
47:02Do you have a particular
47:04personal motto
47:06that you would like to
47:08bring to Milan?
47:11We always
47:13create
47:15some sentences
47:17and words
47:19within the team
47:21but I have to think
47:23that I haven't thought of
47:25any at the moment.
47:27It's a matter
47:29of feeling.
47:31I have to know
47:33the players well
47:35and the staff well
47:37to create
47:38a situation.
47:40Carlo Pellegatte.
47:45Good morning.
47:47I studied your past matches.
47:50On 26 October 2020
47:52you played against Milan
47:54and I remember the match
47:56against Zlatan Ibrahimovic
47:58because you scored two goals
48:00one on goal and one on goal.
48:02They were lucky.
48:04Then you scored against Moulin
48:06and it ended 3-3
48:08with Dzeko in front.
48:10Then in the most important week
48:12of last season
48:14you played against Marseille
48:16and won 3-2
48:18and played
48:20in different styles
48:22with Jassic,
48:24Gudmundsson
48:26and David.
48:28Instead you beat
48:30Aston Villa
48:32with Zengrova
48:34David
48:36and CabellĂ .
48:38In general
48:40you prefer the forward
48:42with a lot of reference
48:44to Dzeko
48:46and Jonathan David.
48:48I wanted to ask Zlatan
48:50because he said
48:52it's important to sell
48:54and not just buy.
48:56If there was an opportunity
48:58there could be
49:00three central midfielders
49:02after Jovic
49:04and Lix
49:06and if there is an opportunity
49:08Fonseca
49:10in front.
49:12As I said
49:14we need to find a solution
49:16for those players
49:18who won't have space
49:20and who are inside.
49:22Then
49:24for three forwards
49:26one is Mr X
49:28the one who scores
49:30the one who is safe
49:32and then it depends
49:34on the situation.
49:36Jovic
49:38then it depends on the coach
49:40how many forwards
49:42he needs.
49:44But as I said
49:46we want players
49:48who will be used
49:50in a positive way
49:52and not be there
49:54to waste time.
49:56Then we also have
49:58this future
50:00where we want to push
50:02when there are opportunities
50:04and when they are ready
50:06to have these opportunities
50:08to be there.
50:10But
50:12it's not their responsibility
50:14they need to think about
50:16growing
50:18but for three forwards
50:20it's possible
50:22it's not impossible
50:24we'll see how it goes.
50:31I think
50:33it was a very smart way
50:35to understand
50:36which forwards
50:38we want.
50:40He said all of them.
50:42Yes, yes.
50:45Yes, I understand.
50:48It depends
50:50Let's make one of three
50:52one, one, one.
50:54Then it depends on the game.
50:57It depends on the players
50:59we have
51:01on the structure
51:03we want to play
51:04for example in Lille
51:06or playing without forwards
51:08and then
51:10I think
51:12in different areas of the pitch
51:14we play in different structures
51:17but it depends
51:19on the characteristics
51:21we have
51:23of the forwards.
51:25What we know
51:27is that we want to play
51:29in the last 30 metres
51:32and
51:34the striker we want
51:36is a player
51:38who has to play
51:40without space
51:42in the last 30 metres.
51:46Peppe, you wanted to ask
51:48the last question to Zlatan.
51:50Yes, I wanted to ask a question
51:52to Zlatan
51:54because you were smiling
51:56before Milanello.
51:58I've known you for years
52:00and I know the bond
52:02you have with people.
52:04How do you manage
52:06when the fans
52:08seem cold to you?
52:10You can't go unnoticed
52:12knowing the bond
52:14you have with them.
52:16With the fans
52:18I understand the passion
52:20and ambition
52:22they have for us.
52:24As I said at the start
52:26of the press conference
52:28this is a movement
52:30of our ideas
52:32and strategies.
52:34We know
52:36the fans want to win
52:38but we're on the same page
52:40with everything.
52:42For example,
52:44there are not many players
52:46at the Ultras
52:48but in the end
52:50it's all about love
52:52between us and them
52:54because we do this
52:56to satisfy the fans
52:58with the same ambition
53:00and being in Milan
53:02is pressure.
53:04Zlatan, Milanello,
53:06Casa Milan
53:08know that the ambition
53:10is to win
53:12and they have to win.
53:14We're all on the same page.
53:16If there's a guarantee
53:18then no.
53:20But we're all on the same boat.
53:22We go straight
53:24together
53:26and we have goals
53:28and we get there.
53:30You pedal and you get there.
53:32Miracles don't happen.
53:34It's a good day.
53:36Seven days.
53:38We're on the first day.
53:40Thank you.
53:42To conclude,
53:44I'd like to say
53:46that our love for you
53:48is absolute.
53:50We thank you
53:52and we'll see you soon.
53:54We thank Paolo Fonseca
53:56and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
53:58See you this afternoon.
54:00Thank you.
