The thoughts of the Turkish midfielder, who scored the equaliser in the Coppa Italia derby

Tonight, Hakan Calhanoglu scored his third derby goal which proved decisive in earning an important draw ahead of the semi-final second leg. The Turkish regista scored his fourth goal from outside of the area this season with a powerful right-footed first time strike: no other player in Serie A has done better than Calhanoglu in all competitions. Hakan spoke after the match:

“Today's match was balanced: AC Milan had chances and so did we. In the second half, we pushed a bit more, but we conceded a goal which can't be conceded: however, today it was important for us to avoid defeat, given that there'll be the second leg. Now, we need to concentrate on Parma, it's a very important match in terms of our objective: we'll think about the derby later on, when the time is right. ”
