On the board, Paulo Fonseca is inexhaustible. For more than an hour, Wednesday, four days before Lille’s match in Montpellier, the coach explained to us the principles that guide his teams. With one key word, always: “We want to dominate. And for that, we must have the ball. Even when I managed smaller teams, we prepared for matches with the same ideas. This is the nature of the game that I want, my passion. I don’t play just for the result. I want my teams to be attractive and courageous. I would love it if people who know football could say “Ah, it’s a Paulo Fonseca team”. » A team that loves risk, with almost always short restarts, almost always the obligation to play under pressure: “Sometimes, depending on the circumstances of the match, we decide not to risk any more. But it drives me crazy. » Above all, he is crazy about playing and we had a blast listening to him.
