Against Real Madrid, AC Milan came on on top and played their best match of the season. Paulo Fonseca outsmarted Carlo Ancelotti and three crucial points were obtained.
As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport in this morning's print edition, the Portuguese tactician, formerly of Roma and Lille, proved to be an effective motivator before the Real Madrid - Milan match.
Head coach Paulo Fonseca told his players before the game:
"Enjoy yourselves out there."
The team responded excellently. Now, with focus on Cagliari, the coach has urged his players: "You were fantastic, but now we need consistency against teams that aren’t named Real Madrid."
Zlatan Ibrahimovic echoed his words: "We are Milan, and we need to keep going like this. Winning and giving our best against any opponent, starting this Saturday in Cagliari."
