In the match held last night between AC Milan and Napoli, Milan won 1:0 at the San Siro, following a great performance by the Italian team. In spite of the fact that Napoli is playing great this season, last night's match proved that the Napolitans have many weaknesses, however, this is only the first leg and there is still a lot that can change in the second leg.
Stefano Pioli, Milan's coach, has expressed his satisfaction with his team's performance. In spite of this, he believes that certain things had to be used in order to achieve their goal. “They got off to a better start than us, we dribbled badly at the beginning, they were more aggressive.
Then we had a good game, we regret not using the man advantage at the end. It’s a result that we care about in balance and gives us chances to go through”. - Pioli said, as quoted by getfootballnewsitaly.com Bennacer was one of Milan's better players, and he scored a great goal for his team's victory.
Brahim Diaz also played one of the best matches. “Clearly, I tried to use a more offensive player, he [Bennacer] played an excellent game, but he was tired. We tried to put Brahim Diaz between the lines”.
Luciano Spalletti on his team's performance
Luciano Spalletti, the coach of Napoli, commented on the game of his team and the impressions after everything.
“We played with the right attitude, we tried to play the game even with one man down. Compliments go to Maignan for what he has done, they are strong,” he said. "All absences are important, but we have other players to make up for certain absences.
It’s been like this throughout the season, otherwise we wouldn’t have had certain results. I’m sorry not to have Anguissa back, in my opinion it’s unfair not to have him, but that’s okay”.
