AC Milan’s emphatic victory: Fonseca praises team’s performance

AC Milan’s resounding 6-1 victory over Sassuolo in the Coppa Italia has left manager Paulo Fonseca brimming with confidence. The win, which follows successful outings against Slovan Bratislava and Empoli, has given the Rossoneri a significant boost ahead of their challenging encounter with Atalanta on Friday evening.

Speaking to Mediaset after the match, Fonseca expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance. “We had a magnificent first half, playing very well, and this helped me manage the players. We were very good, playing a very serious game,” he remarked.

The Portuguese coach emphasized his trust in the entire squad, highlighting the contributions of players who had previously seen less game time. “I have confidence in all my players. Today, I’m very satisfied because we had people who, despite having less space, showed me that I can count on them,” Fonseca stated.

When questioned about the possibility of facing his former club Roma in the quarter-finals, Fonseca remained focused on the immediate future. “I haven’t thought about it. Now I’m going home and thinking about Atalanta,” he said, demonstrating his commitment to taking things one game at a time.

Fonseca also addressed the team’s approach to the match, particularly in light of past struggles against lower-ranked opponents. “It was important to start strong, and the boys did that. I’m very satisfied with this, considering that in the past, our attitude against teams of lower value was a problem. I am responsible for what didn’t happen before,” he concluded.
