Eusebio Di Francesco thought Sassuolo’s “daring” attitude paid off in a shock 2-1 victory over Milan at San Siro.
The Neroverdi had lost here 7-0 to Inter in September, but fought back from a goal down to win with Nicola Sansone and Simone Zaza.
“I expected Milan to have a strong start, but then we had a great first half overall and could’ve gone in front before the break too,” Di Francesco told Sky Sport Italia.

“In the second period we did well to contain Milan and score on a corner that we had practiced in training.
“I think it really helps a team to be daring and show no fear. If players feel too much pressure, they cannot express themselves to their full potential. I like this mentality, as we press at the right times and caused Milan a lot of problems. The win was thoroughly deserved.
“We are young and at times can rest on our laurels, so this performance was a reaction to the points we had fumbled over the last few games, when we lacked focus in the important moments. This time we did well to take home the result.”
