Paulo Fonseca, AC Milan coachin the post-derby won 2-1 on the Inter pitch, he also spoke to the microphones of CBS: “I am very happy, a very important victory. It is the derby… Milan had lost the last six”
Now she has arrived and won at the first attempt.
“I am a really lucky guy (laughs, ed.). I am really happy. I don’t remember the last team that created so many difficulties for Inter. Playing against them is always difficult, you will surely have seen the game against Manchester City: it was difficult for them to have clear goal opportunities because Inter defend really well. But honestly today we deserved to win, even with 1-2 goals more. I think the game was always on our side. We controlled the possession and the game. I am really happy for the players and the fans, they deserved it”.
How important is Pulisic?
“He’s a fantastic player. He’s playing really well, I use him in a more internal position: he participates a lot in the game, he’s scored in the last two games and he’s having a great moment”.
A big change for the derby today, he opted for a two-man attack with Morata and Abraham.
“We played with the same strategy but with different players. Morata plays like a false nine, almost like a ten. Against Liverpool, however, we played with Reijnders in that position. Obviously Morata has other characteristics and we see the results. We played very well with Abraham and Morata, we created doubts for him with these positions: that was the intention. I liked Morata’s game”.
Tell us about Abraham.
“Abraham is a player I wanted from the first day I arrived here because he is a different player. He brings so much energy to the team, and we need it. This energy, this positivity, this aggression… He is a player who works hard for the team. I think he can be very important for us.”
