Noah Okafor was the player who gave the turning point to the AC Milan-Club Brugge match. Coming on in the 61st minute in place of a dull Leao, the Swiss striker assisted Reijnders for the 2-1 goal a few seconds later: “I’m always ready to help the team when the coach needs it, I’m very happy for the assist to Reijnders but I am especially happy for the three points”, he declared in the mixed zone at the end of the match”, he said in the mixed zone at the end of the match.
Then in another passage he added: “We are happy with the three points. It wasn’t our best game, but we are on the right path. We have to work hard, improve a lot and be ready for the next few days. As I said, I’m always ready if the coach needs He’s the one who decides the starting line-up, I always give my all in training and I’m always ready.”
Okafor then clarified that he can also play with Rafael Leao, not just in his place: “I can play wide left, right, but also center forward or two strikers. I don’t look at where to play, we are a team and I have to be ready for every match and if the coach needs me I’m here.”
