**Milan, Italy** – AC Milan manager Paulo Fonseca lauded his team’s professional performance in their commanding 6-1 victory over Sassuolo in the Coppa Italia last 16 on Tuesday. A four-goal first-half blitz at the San Siro effectively ended the Serie B leaders’ hopes of an upset, allowing Fonseca to substitute four players at the start of the second half.
Fonseca praised his team’s serious approach, a marked improvement from previous performances against lesser opponents. He highlighted the “magnificent” first half and the positive attitude displayed by all players, noting that eight changes were made to the starting lineup from their weekend win against Empoli. The manager expressed his satisfaction with the contributions of those players who received less game time, emphasizing his faith in the entire squad.
While a potential quarter-final clash against Fonseca’s former club, AS Roma, looms, the manager remains focused on the immediate future, namely Friday’s Serie A match against Atalanta.
