AC Milan's victory against Napoli was not just a matter of technique, but also of character. This was confirmed by the words of Christian Pulisic and Alexis Saelemaekers, interviewed by DAZN immediately after the 2-1 victory that set San Siro alight.
“It was an incredible, self-sacrificing match ,” said Pulisic , who scored a goal and provided an assist. “ We defended incredibly well after the red card. The coach was able to bring out the best in each of us. We are a team with a lot of quality, and we are proving it on the pitch.”
Saelemaekers, who scored the opening goal, agreed: “We’re a very close-knit family. The players who came on today gave their all, we’re a real team, and we’re happy to have won, also for the fans. I always try to give everything on the pitch, and the fans know it. The Scudetto? It’s still a long way off, let’s take it one game at a time. Pulisic’s assist? I’ll thank him on golf ,” the Belgian joked.
The Milan-Napoli match was very interesting, but there were some defensive lapses, especially in the second half. Pulisic was very good, but Saelemaekers also played well. Let's hope they continue like this.
