Inter Milan and AC Milan Clash: Fofana's Bold Celebration

Inter Milan and AC Milan Match Recap

Youssouf Fofana (25 years) knows how to win over his new supporters. The midfield player for AC Milan celebrated the derby victory against Inter Milan (2-1) on Sunday by covering a corner post flag with the Inter logo using his jersey. He then flaunted the new red and black colors of the flag in the air together with teammates Rafael Leao and Tammy Abraham. This celebration was a cheeky response to his fellow French national team player, Marcus Thuram.

Significance of the Derby

• Thuram had previously celebrated similarly after Inter Milan's 20th title win last season against AC Milan.
• Sunday's win ended a two-year losing streak in the derby, with the Rossoneri facing six defeats previously.
• Coach Paulo Fonseca faced significant pressure after a rough start to the season.

Statements from the Team

This victory provides some relief for Fonseca, who received strong backing from the team. Matteo Gabbia stated, 'We will follow Fonseca until his last breath.' The coach acknowledged the match's importance, emphasizing, 'Today we created problems for Inter like never before.'

Fofana's Impact on the Team

Fonseca praised Fofana’s performance, stating, 'We maintained the same structure but created something different with Fofana in central positions.' This strategy proved effective for the former Monaco player, helping secure a vital win.
