Milan Players Praise Team Spirit After Hard-Fought Win Over Empoli

AC Milan secured a challenging 2-0 away victory against Empoli, with substitutes Christian Pulisic and Santiago Gimenez playing key roles in the win. Both players emphasized the importance of the team’s spirit and determination in overcoming a difficult first half.

Pulisic, who provided assists for both goals, commented on the match: “Earning three points was crucial today. We struggled in the first half but adapted well after both teams were reduced to 10 men. This fighting spirit is exactly what we need – our squad has tremendous quality, especially with our new signings.”

The American winger also highlighted Milan’s ambitions for the season: “We’re aiming for more consistency, to win every match, with the ultimate goal of securing a top-four finish.”

Gimenez, who scored on his Serie A debut, expressed gratitude for the opportunity at Milan: “I’m thankful to be part of this team. Serie A matches are always challenging, requiring maximum effort, but we managed to succeed today.”

The Mexican striker faces an emotional upcoming match against his former club Feyenoord in the Champions League play-off: “It will be a tough game with a lot of emotions, as Feyenoord gave me so much and feels like family.”

Milan’s victory, achieved despite going down to 10 men, showcases the team’s resilience and the impact of their January transfers. As they continue to integrate new players like Gimenez, Joao Felix, and others, Milan appears poised for a strong second half of the season in both domestic and European competitions.
