"I have to be honest, Okafor will play tomorrow," Fonseca told a press conference. "It will be a different game than the first one. We want to have the capacity to play higher compared to the game with Torino." This statement highlights the coach's confidence in Okafor to adapt to the game and capitalize on his skills. Fonseca is keen on adjusting the team's tactics against Parma to suit Okafor's playing style, showing his trust in the player.
"During the week, Okafor responded well and the characteristics of the match suit his qualities. Luka (Jovic) could be useful later in the game," Fonseca shared. This remark emphasizes Okafor's positive training performance and how he fits into the upcoming match against Parma. It indicates the adaptability and readiness of the squad, with Fonseca also considering Jovic for strategic deployment as the match unfolds.
"He wanted to play, but together with my staff, we understood that it would be risky," said Fonseca, discussing Morata's situation. This statement uncovers the challenges of player management, particularly when managing injuries. Fonseca's approach shows his responsibility in ensuring that players are fit for matches, prioritizing their long-term health over immediate play.
"It's a problem when players arrive late and we need to play them, but I believe we handled the situation well." Fonseca reflects on the complications of integrating new players post-injury recovery. It underlines the significance of strategic decisions in player selection and timing in match readiness.
