AC Milan's coach, Paulo Fonseca, spoke in a press conference to the media.
Today, a great Milan for 100 minutes.
"I agree, we played a fantastic game against a team that is very aggressive defensively, with the fourth-best defense in the league. We had a very balanced match, both offensively and defensively. One very important thing was winning the ball back in the offensive half. We scored three goals, but we could have scored six or seven if we hadn't made mistakes in our final decisions."
Yunus Musah on the flank provides balance? Fonseca replied:
"I'm really liking Musah in that position. Empoli plays a lot of long balls, so it was important to have someone in that role to help the team. I was also very satisfied with how Chukwueze performed in this role; he tracked back into the box twice to act as a fifth defender. This system gives us balance."
Sixth clean sheet of the season. He said:
"I can only say good things about Gabbia: he’s a great professional. He’s taking on an important leadership role while also playing very well. I told him I’m very, very happy with his contract renewal—if any player deserves it, it’s him. We didn’t concede a goal and didn’t give Empoli any opportunities."
Alvaro Morata is back on the scoresheet... Fonseca commented:
"I’ve never been worried about Morata. I know Alvaro very well; he’s an example for the team. Scoring is important because it gives him confidence."
Youssouf Fofana with another outstanding performance.
"He’s having a good season. I knew him well, but here he’s playing a new role: he had never played alone in the center of midfield before. He’s improving a lot."
