Montella Praises Milan’s Fighting Spirit

AC Milan head coach, Vincenzo Montella has praised the fighting spirit showed by his side to secure a 3-2 win against Rijeka.

Cutrone played the hero, as he scored the winner in the injury time, after Rijeka overturned a 2-0 deficit.

Montella was unhappy his side had to grind out the win, after going two goals up, only to lose the advantage.

“I want to underline the spirit of the team that brought the victory home,” he told Sky Sport Italia. “There was indescribable joy to see the team play with this energy and determination in the final minute.

“It’s a great result, maybe not so much in terms of the scoreline, but it is a great step forward.”

Montella’s positive outlook, though, was offset by a slight frustration at Milan’s game management.

“We’ve got to grow in the way we handle games,” he added. “This was a valuable learning experience

“You have to control a match at the 70th minute. We must improve our defensive movements, as we have perhaps struggled a little in terms of temperament under the weight of expectations.

“I see the glass half-full. We learned some valuable lessons and we won.”
