In a surprising turn of events, Milan emerged victorious in the highly anticipated derby against Inter, marking a significant milestone for the team. Paulo Fonseca, Milan’s head coach, shared his thoughts on the match in a post-game interview with Dazn.
Fonseca began by emphasizing the importance and rarity of this win: “Milan hasn’t won this match in a long time, and tonight we truly deserved it.” He went on to highlight the exceptional performance of his team, stating, “I can’t recall a team that has managed to create as many problems for Inter as we did today.”
When questioned about potential tactical changes, Fonseca was quick to clarify:
“No, we didn’t change anything. We played with the same structure. I only asked Fofana to drop between the center-backs during the build-up phase. The only thing that changed was the players’ roles. Morata did what Reijnders did against Liverpool.”
Addressing speculation about his future, Fonseca maintained a focused attitude:
“Whether people talk about it or not, it’s all the same to me. I don’t listen to or look at anything. What’s important for me is to continue on this path because there’s still a lot to improve.”
He also took a moment to praise his players’ performance, saying, “The players were great tonight.”
The interview concluded on a humorous note, with Fonseca responding to a question about Portuguese pastries:
“The pasteis de nata? When I have the opportunity, I’ll make sure you get some,” he said with a laugh.
