Quotes
“I think the team did well because we controlled the match with the ball," Milan manager Paulo Fonseca said after his side's draw with Lazio.
"In the second half, it went differently, we let them play. I understand that it’s a moment that isn’t positive, maybe in their heads the players want to try not to concede.
"We have to manage the match with the ball but in the second half, we didn’t want to play.”
