Vincenzo Montella believes Milan “fully deserved” their 2-1 Coppa Italia win over Torino. “It was a great victory.”
Andrea Belotti had put Toro in front at San Siro, but Juraj Kucka and Jack Bonaventura turned it around with two goals in quick succession.
“In the first half we were too slow and ran into a very good Torino side,” the Coach told Rai Sport.

Andrea Belotti had put Toro in front at San Siro, but Juraj Kucka and Jack Bonaventura turned it around with two goals in quick succession.
“In the first half we were too slow and ran into a very good Torino side,” the Coach told Rai Sport.
“Conceding the goal fired us up and I saw a good reaction. After the break we did well to complete the comeback and, in my view deservedly, beat a tough opponent. It was a great victory.”
The Coach was asked about Milan interest in signing Gerard Deulofeu from Everton.
“I know Deulofeu pretty well, but I prefer to talk about the players in my squad, who deserve a great deal of praise.
“Many of the lads here came up through the Milan academy and I think any team that reaches a high level in this sport has to rely on its youth system.
“The ambition and aspiration is to bring even more youngsters up into the main squad.”
Milan will face Juventus in the Coppa Italia quarter-final on January 25 in Turin.
