Fofana denies Milan have a striker problem and admits ‘work to do’ under Conceicao | OneFootball

Youssouf Fofana believes that AC Milan do not have a problem in the striker position and rather just have a problem taking the chances they create.

Fofana has become one of Milan’s most important players since his arrival from AS Monaco during the summer transfer window, starting virtually every game and becoming a crucial balancer in the middle of the park.

Admittedly, he didn’t have his best game during Saturday’s 1-1 draw against Cagliari as he was partly to blame for the equalising goal in the second half. Nevertheless, there is no doubt that Sergio Conceicao will see him as a critical part of the plans he is building at Milan.

On the eve of the game against Como away from home, SportMediaset released an interview they have done with Fofana, and his comments were relayed by MilanNews.

How has it been under Conceicao so far?

“There’s a lot of work to do. Conceiçao arrived on December 30, we immediately got two wins, but we haven’t had much time to work. We have to quickly understand what the coach wants and show it on the pitch as soon as possible.”

Are you scoring too few goals?

“There is no problem with the forwards. We have many players who can score goals like Pulisic, Leao, Morata, Abraham and there is also Reijnders who is scoring a lot. There are no problems with the forwards, we only have a problem with the effectiveness of scoring.”
