Fabio Capello, former Milan coach, commented to La Gazzetta dello Sport on Milan’s win against Napoli on Sunday:
"I wanted to watch Milan-Napoli live to study both teams properly. On TV you don’t catch certain details. Milan is already a team. It has the spirit and determination of the big sides, something we didn’t see often last season. An important point, everything starts from their strongest and most charismatic players, like Modric and Rabiot. They set the example for their teammates and lift the fans. Speaking of which, when the curva started singing again, in the final resistance San Siro gave a big hand."
On the tactical side:
"The ability to break forward with exceptional speed and quality in the first half, also thanks to an impressive Pulisic. The American has a big quality, whether he dribbles with the ball or passes it, he always goes vertical. On top of that, he sees the goal like few others. Napoli still tried to control the game, but their build-up was too slow and Milan always defended well, then took advantage of the spaces to strike on the counter. Of course, the absences in Conte’s lineup also played a role."
What is AC Milan's weak point? Capello remarked:
"On the left side, with Estupiñán, there are still some concerns defensively. The Ecuadorian is much stronger when attacking."
