00:00 We had prepared our game with our classic position.

00:06 Yesterday we knew that only Calabria and Teo would be able to be in the formation.

00:11 So we thought to use all three central defenders.

00:15 We trained for half an hour.

00:18 I saw a team that was in a good shape on the pitch.

00:21 I saw a team that tried to create play and move without a foul.

00:26 We faced a team that was in a bad shape, physically and aggressively.

00:35 We didn't always manage to play with the clean play that we needed to close the game.

00:42 But we had the chance to do it.

00:45 They are leaders of our group.

00:48 When they play, when they will play, they play a little less.

00:52 They are intelligent people, they have been playing for a long time.

00:56 They know our situations and they know how to keep the positivity in the right way.

01:02 They know how to do it in our daily life.

01:06 They are strong players.

01:07 They are not only beautiful people, charismatic players from a character point of view.

01:13 They are players that can contribute a lot and today they have shown it.

01:17 We are a group that can make mistakes, we will make mistakes again.

01:24 But we don't lack support, we don't lack solidarity with our teammates.

01:29 We don't lack solidarity with the people in our group who are in trouble at that moment.

01:34 We don't do it with words, we do it with our attitude and behaviour.

01:38 We all wanted Rafa Capitano today.

01:42 Because we win and we lose together.

01:47 He gave the answer he should have given.

01:50 But there was no doubt that he was encouraging a youngster to come on.

01:53 Because Rafa has been here a few years ago and he knows how difficult it is to play in front of 70,000 people.

02:00 I am happy for Bartesaghi because he has worked well with us this summer.

02:07 He took advantage of this opportunity and there will be others.

02:11 We are good with the signing but it cannot be over yet.

02:15 Today at the end of the match Tijani and Younus told me how difficult it is to beat the opposition.

02:24 How they are structured, how they are physical and how they are aggressive.

02:28 You learn these difficulties when you are in the home ground.

02:35 Every match will be a challenge for them.

02:38 They are strong and they are made for it.

02:45 I think they are doing well and they are playing at a good pace.

02:51 But they still need a few more matches and a few more mistakes.

02:57 To understand our way of playing and the difficulties of Italian football.

03:02 We remember him with great affection and warmth.

03:08 He was a true Milanese for his passion, his generosity and his sense of belonging.

03:14 He is a very direct and very sunny person.

03:19 We are very sorry and we are very close to his loved ones.

03:24 We are very sorry and we lost a true Milanese.

03:29 We will have one more to support us wherever we are.

03:37 in question.
