Journalist Alessandro Bocci from Il Corriere della Sera newspaper discussed AC Milan’s loss against Bayer Leverkusen:
The European Milan loses again, but how many regrets… Fonseca’s team gives Bayer Leverkusen more than a half-time in which they are saved by Maignan’s saves, some were miraculous.
Once behind, hit by Victor Boniface, they lay siege to the German area, making Xabi Alonso tremble. The Rossoneri deserves more and has been unlucky, but it must also take responsibility for the way it approached the Champions League night with such submissiveness.
The German club are formidable when attacking, but they leave huge spaces for counterattacks that the Rossoneri do not exploit, setting up a defensive game.
Milan, ‘timidity’ costs in Europe…
If Milan had played from the start with the determination it showed in the last half hour against the Germans, the result would have been different. A lesson that Fonseca must take into account for the future with the awareness that the worst is behind.
