"It's the most important goal of my life. We worked hard on it all week. The coach told me to attack, and I found the right moment. Yesterday, however, Estupinan responded to the opportunity Allegri gave him."
"He's a serious and professional player. Whatever you call him, he's always available. After Doveri's final whistle, Pervis himself took the floor and revealed that the goal wasn't a fluke, but a move Allegri had him practice often during the week at Milanello."
Davide Bartesaghi, Milan's regular left wing-back, was unavailable due to a muscle strain sustained over the past week. Massimiliano Allegri selected Pervis Estupinan as his replacement for the derby against Inter. Estupinan, an Ecuadorian defender who joined Milan from Brighton last summer, had initially been the starting left-back but lost his position due to inconsistent early-season performances and Bartesaghi's impressive development. Despite this setback, Estupinan seized the opportunity and scored the decisive goal. The goal resulted from a specific tactical move that Allegri had practiced extensively with Estupinan during training sessions. Allegri praised Estupinan's professionalism and availability, while Estupinan described the goal as the most important of his career, crediting the coach's tactical instruction and his own execution.
