Are Milan returning to the high levels?
“I don’t know if we are returning, but we are more concrete, and we create more chances. In the last matches, we had some difficulties at the defensive level, and we wanted to do better in this aspect against Napoli. The clean sheet will do us good”.
The importance of the victory against Napoli…
“It’s important for the confidence of the whole team. Not having conceded goals is good for everyone.”
Milan’s placement in the Serie A table…
“We only have to think about Rennes. We want to win. For now, we put the league on hold and think about Europe. We want to play a great game against Rennes.”
Thinking ahead to Rennes…
“I met them two years ago. At their home, I lost 6-0, so I know they are a team with quality. We want to play a great game and advance in the Europa League.”
