The words of the French coach: “I liked the reaction; we believed in the comeback.The substitutions at halftime were crucial. In ten against eleven, we had the chance for victory.”
From 2-0 to 2-2 against Milan, with three changes at halftime, making a comeback in the game. Here’s Rudi Garcia‘s analysis after the match on DAZN: “It’s always good to finish 2-2 after being down 2-0 at the half time. It seems like a fair draw: the first half belonged to Milan, and the second half to us.”
“I liked our reaction; we believed in it. But then, you also need luck. In ten against eleven, we had the chance for victory with Kvaratskhelia, but it didn’t go in. I say well done to the boys; we wanted to win, but Milan is a great team.”
The changes at halftime were crucial, with Ostigard and Olivera coming in, and especially Simeone for Elmas, along with a change in the formation: “We changed the formation because in football, there’s not only the 4-3-3. We have a striker like Simeone, but also a player who moves well between the lines like Raspadori, who can play in all attacking positions. The team has pride.”
Finally, a few words on Matteo Politano: “Politano is a player I like because he’s very intelligent and one of the few left-footed players we have. On the right flank, he has a strong connection with Di Lorenzo from a footballing perspective. Matteo needed continuity; now he has gained confidence.”
