Paulo Fonseca, AC Milan's coach, commented on the team's victory during an interview with DAZN.
Here are his words at the end of the match:
"The match had two phases: one, until the 30th minute when we got the red card, where we played 30 minutes with great personality. We were close to what I want from this Milan. After the red card, it became a game of team spirit: we suffered together, and if anyone has doubts about the team's unity, today we demonstrated unity and team spirit. And this is the most important thing. I'm very satisfied, and the players who came on were decisive, also working for the team. It's true, we suffered, but against a team like Udinese, which is good and puts in many crosses, it's normal to suffer. I'm very satisfied."
On the team's attitude, Fonseca said:
"From the first day here at Milan, what I've been looking for is a team that works together, that suffers together. A team that defends together. That's why I'm very satisfied. This is the spirit we want: team spirit. Everyone sacrificed themselves."
On the tense final minutes:
"If we had conceded the equaliser, it would have been an injustice, for how we played and the chances we created. It would have been unjust not to win the match because the guys deserved the three points."
On the forced substitution of Noah Okafor and Christian Pulisic's selflessness:
"I have to say something: it was very difficult to make decisions because Okafor was playing a great match, but he understood. Christian played a fantastic game, and this is the spirit we always need to have."
