Milan won the Coppa Italia, defeating Roma 3-1 to secure qualification for the semi-finals.
The Reds had a different face and it seems that the transfers in the transfer market have had an effect.
Joao Felix made his debut with a goal, while he received the assist from another debutant, Santiago Gimenez.
After the match, Milan coach Sergio Conceicao appeared very happy. According to him, the players brought in in the transfer market have the right characteristics to play in the 4-4-2 formation, which he prefers.
"I am very pleased with the words of coach Claudio Ranieri. At the end of the match I went and thanked him for what he did. For me he is an idol.
We suffered a little in the last 10 minutes of the first half. Not only with the substitutions this time, but whoever comes on gives more to the team.
I played for many years with the 4-4-2 formation at Porto and I like it. The players have to understand that it is not easy. We need balance. The players who are closer have the right characteristics for this formation.
I'm very happy with the transfer market, but also for the fans. We worked well in the transfer market. It wasn't easy to get the players we wanted.
"It's nice when you see the players happy at the end. With this spirit we have to move forward. We are more competitive and that makes me happy. Felix has a lot of quality. It makes me happy when I see a player who scores a goal like that on his debut. That's the beauty of football. It's a wonderful sport," Conceicao declared.
Milan will face the winner of the Lazio-Inter match in the semifinals.
