Musah believes he can ‘play anywhere’ and outlines what changed at half-time vs. Empoli | OneFootball

Yunus Musah always believed that AC Milan would find a way to win against Empoli even after the red card, and now hopes consistency will follow.

After a goalless first half at the Stadio Carlo Castellani, and action-packed second followed which began with Fikayo Tomori being sent off for getting a second yellow card. Then, Marianucci kicked out at Santiago Gimenez to restore numerical parity as he got a red too.

Rafael Leao gave Milan the lead with a header at the far post after Christian Pulisic’s cross, then the American teed up Gimenez for his first goal since arriving, and that would be enough in the end for a vital three points.

Musah spoke to both DAZN and Milan TV after the full-time whistle to give his thoughts on the game, with his comments relayed by MilanNews and translated below.

You wanted to win this one, the coach took a risk and the result was the reward…

“The feeling on the pitch was that despite the red card we were still pushing and creating. We didn’t have the feeling of being in difficulty.”

What changed at half-time?

“It seemed like we were playing more direct and Empoli seemed deeper. However, we came out well and pushed hard.”

Now the Champions League play-off…

“Unfortunately I won’t be there for the first leg due to the red card, I hope the team can do their job well and I will support them until the end.”
