AC Milan coach Paulo Fonseca reflected on his side’s impressive 3-1 win over Real Madrid in the Champions League group stage.
“We won because the players had the courage to play against Real Madrid without fear. We prepared for the game to dominate possession. In the first half we gained a significant advantage. The second half was more difficult , but we got through it together.
We deserved this win not only for the three goals we scored, but also for our quality of play.
In European competitions, taking the initiative and controlling the ball is crucial. Today we showed that Italian teams are capable of more than just defending. We must continue to strive for improvement.
Abraham is a player with many qualities. Morata can play the role of a connection in our game. They are two players with different characteristics. One plays closer to the goal while the other interacts more with the ball. Álvaro was very tired and we had to replace him. Tammy is a great support for the team,” Fonseca said on Gianluca Di Marzio’s website.
