Milan forgets Florence and wins. With suffering, even with a bit of luck in light of the two goals disallowed by millimeters against Udinese. But he deservedly wins it. Well done Paulo Fonseca, who reacts well, because the starting line-up is spot on, so much so that until Reijnders’ expulsion Milan were practically perfect. Samu Chukwueze’s goal after 13 minutes was enough and then a lot of team fight, all together, with two goals disallowed for the Bianconeri. Pulisic is the best, but the whole team is working well. In Udinese, however, the best is Okoye.
And Paulo Fonseca is satisfied: “All the boys played with sacrifice, I think we played a beautiful match in terms of spirit, I’m satisfied. I must say that now I will also evaluate the defensive phase. If anyone had doubts about us, today they we saw a compact and united team. Victories bring confidence, but even in a difficult moment we started with confidence and worked well, unfortunately with 10 of us we played a different game. Now we’re going to the Champions League, it will be difficult.”
So is Kosta Runjaic: “Today we could have played with 7 attackers, but if the timing in positioning ourselves in the area had been the same we wouldn’t have scored anyway. I expected something more from Milan even with 10 men, given the quality of the team , instead they did containment. So, even more so, it means that Udinese played a good game if Milan chose to only do containment.”
