In the first half, he won back the ball a lot but failed to do anything useful in possession. Things improved a little in the second half, when he was involved in the goal, but he also missed a big chance after a great run.<\/p>\n<p>In his post-match interview in the mixed zone (via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.milannews.it\/news\/fofana-a-tl-proviamo-a-mettere-tutto-sul-campo-per-vincere-scudetto-ne-parliamo-a-maggio-598978\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">MilanNews<\/a>) Fofana couldn\u2019t help but laugh as the journalist said that his first half was slow, as opposed to the second half.
