00:00Welcome to the press conference on the eve of the match against Cagliari at San Siro.
00:09This season, people have spoken about crucial matches, important matches, away matches.
00:18People have spoken about the match at Cagliari.
00:21This time, though, it's a home match which is crucial.
00:24It's a home match in which Milan's rhythm and form at home in 2026 has not been as good as
00:33in 2025.
00:35Well, the 2026 rhythm has been terrible.
00:40We've earned one point recently at home. It's been tragedy.
00:45But these are stats. Tomorrow is the last match of the season.
00:51And today is the last conference of the season, press or pre-match conference.
00:56So I want to thank you for having put up with me.
01:02We've had a bit of fun as well, haven't we, in these press conferences, which is very important.
01:08But tomorrow we've got the objective.
01:11It's even closer now, our objective.
01:13We have to grab the opportunity, grab the chance.
01:16Otherwise, tomorrow evening will not be a nice evening.
01:20And we are facing Cagliari.
01:23We have a lot of respect for Cagliari because they've had a good season.
01:31And they've got a very good...
01:34They had Fabio Pizzacane making his debut as manager, his managerial debut for the first team.
01:41They've done well. They've had a good season.
01:43I'm happy because I've got lots of connections and I like Cagliari.
01:55We've got the chance with the right result tomorrow to qualify for the Champions League.
02:02I'd like to ask you, I'd like to know the latest on fitness and the health and availability of players.
02:11And does your future depend on tomorrow?
02:19Regarding the future or the future is tomorrow, it's the match of the season.
02:26It's the most important match of the season for everybody.
02:29Everyone who works with Milan, works here at the training centre, everyone who works at the HQ.
02:37And for the fans, a victory would be a way to say thank you to everyone who's supported us and
02:46worked hard.
02:47At the last three home matches, we've earned one point.
02:52But the fans have stayed close to us and cheered on the players.
02:57Tomorrow it won't be easy.
02:59There'll be pressure.
03:00We have to be calm.
03:02We have to play with composure.
03:04We've got 100 minutes to bring the objective home.
03:07Regarding the fitness updates, everyone's well.
03:11Everyone's back.
03:12We've got everyone available.
03:15Tomorrow, during the match, I will need everyone, even those on the bench.
03:22The match might be decided in the last half an hour.
03:25Cagliari have conceded a lot of goals in the last 50 minutes.
03:32But they're a team that are very good on a counter-attack.
03:38They're good at set-pieces.
03:41We have to be very serious about our preparation for the match.
03:47I want to go back in time.
03:49After the match against Genoa,
03:52Adrian Rabiot said that you had prepared the team
04:00and told them to ignore the voices outside the stadium,
04:03to ignore the voices off the pitch,
04:05just to focus on what they have to do.
04:09Will you use the same strategy for this match?
04:13Tomorrow, there's one danger we face,
04:16and it's a big one.
04:17It's the attitude.
04:20And we mustn't take the match too lightly.
04:24We had an intense week
04:27building up to the match against Genoa.
04:29It was a really tough match against Genoa.
04:32Tomorrow,
04:34maybe the error that we mustn't make
04:38is to underestimate the match
04:42and have the wrong attitude
04:44and give it less focus than we did
04:47against Genoa.
04:51We know that we're playing at home,
04:54but we mustn't underestimate Cagliari.
04:59With social media,
05:01everybody talks,
05:02the fans talk,
05:03there's noise.
05:04We have to focus on our objective,
05:07our final objective,
05:08and ignore the outside noise.
05:12all the people who criticize us,
05:15which is understandable,
05:17but we have to ignore it
05:18and play well.
05:21Max,
05:22buongiorno.
05:23Negli ultimi tempi,
05:24la proprietà è stata molto evidente.
05:25Recently,
05:26the owners
05:26have been at Milanello a lot
05:31in their communications,
05:33their statements,
05:33but also actually coming to the city.
05:36Gerry Cardinale,
05:37the owner,
05:38was in Genova
05:39for the match against Genoa.
05:42This presence from the owners,
05:45do you like that?
05:47Do you think it can help the team?
05:49How do you feel about it?
05:51What do you think?
05:53What are your views on it?
05:56Let me say something,
05:58a very important thing.
06:06A strong club,
06:09a solid club,
06:11helps everyone work,
06:14and the results come more easily
06:16if you are working for a strong club.
06:18the foundations
06:20and the strength,
06:21the power of the results
06:23depends upon the solidity
06:26of the club.
06:30The owner has been with the team,
06:34close to the team,
06:36metaphorically,
06:36for the whole season.
06:38And we're very pleased about that.
06:43On the pitch tomorrow,
06:44we've got to do our job,
06:47get the right results,
06:48and we hope to win
06:50and qualify for the Champions League.
06:56I'd like to speak about the pitch,
06:58the matters on the pitch.
07:00The victory against Genoa,
07:04and specifically Raffaeleau.
07:06Will Raffaeleau return to the starting line-up?
07:09I'll decide tomorrow.
07:11It's a long match.
07:13It's against a team
07:16who
07:21it's a team,
07:22as I said before,
07:23that statistically
07:25that are
07:28that struggle
07:29towards the end of the match.
07:32But we
07:33we
07:34we have to be organized.
07:36We have to stay
07:38compact
07:39and organized.
07:43Easy question.
07:45Can you tell us
07:46what happened
07:47with the
07:47club
07:48the players in Rettiro
07:50in training camp?
07:53And can you tell us
07:55if you've heard
07:57what Modric,
07:59Luka Modric said?
07:59He said you are an exceptional,
08:01very good manager.
08:03Did that make you proud?
08:05And would you like to work
08:05with Modric next year?
08:07Well,
08:08what Luka said,
08:09Luka Modric said,
08:10I liked
08:11and especially from him
08:13it made me proud.
08:14I repeat,
08:16Luka Modric
08:17is an example
08:18to everyone,
08:20all the players.
08:21Everyone who's worked
08:22with him
08:23has benefited.
08:25The other question?
08:26Ah,
08:27the training camp.
08:27The players asked
08:29to stay
08:31in the training ground
08:32overnight
08:33after the training session
08:35on Friday.
08:35It was the players
08:36who wanted to
08:37have the
08:38so-called
08:38Rettiro
08:39of the training camp.
08:39at the training centre.
08:41We relaxed.
08:44They showed
08:45responsibility.
08:50And
08:50have you ever
08:54asked the players
08:55to,
08:56as a player,
08:57did you ever ask
08:58if you could do
08:58the Rettiro?
08:59Well,
08:59I don't know.
09:00Come on,
09:00we're talking about
09:0140 years ago.
09:02I can't remember
09:02when I was a player.
09:03I've had my
09:04fair share
09:05of Rettiri
09:06of training camps.
09:12I would like to know
09:16if
09:18Adeliano
09:18Gagliani
09:19is joining
09:20the club
09:21would convince you
09:22to stay.
09:23These are things
09:24that are
09:24for the club
09:25to sort out.
09:26I'm just thinking
09:27about the match
09:28tomorrow.
09:29The club
09:30will think about
09:31what's best for me
09:32and I'm just
09:32thinking about
09:33the pitch.
09:36Cesare Prandelli,
09:38the former
09:39Italy boss,
09:40don't know if
09:40you know him,
09:43he is,
09:48he said
09:49if Allegri
09:50gets
09:51Milan to the
09:52Champions League,
09:53he's
09:54done a miracle.
09:56I'd like to
09:57know what you
09:58think about that.
09:59At this point
10:00of the season,
10:05could you
10:05could you
10:06say how you
10:07see your
10:08Milan team?
10:10I want to
10:11say hello
10:12to Cesare
10:12Prandelli.
10:15If tomorrow
10:16night
10:16we
10:17achieve
10:18qualification
10:19for the
10:19Champions League,
10:21if the boys

10:22this gift,
10:25thanks to
10:26them
10:26and we'll
10:27be there
10:29and
10:30I'll be
10:31pleased.

10:35it's a long
10:36journey,

11:00with
11:01Iglitare.
11:04Will you

11:06new
11:08replacement?
11:10Let me
11:11repeat,

11:14club does for
11:15directors,

11:18and at
11:19this time,
11:20at this
11:20moment,
11:21just over
11:2230 hours
11:24from the
11:24most important
11:25match of
11:25the season,
11:26I think
11:27talking about
11:28Allegri,
11:29Il Gitarre,
11:31Marco,
11:32talk about
11:33different people,
11:34it doesn't
11:34have any
11:35purpose.
11:36We have to
11:37focus on
11:37tomorrow
11:38evening's
11:38match,
11:39that's the
11:39most important
11:40thing for
11:40everyone and
11:42that is it.
11:43Tomorrow evening
11:44won't be
11:45easy,
11:46we have to
11:46be focused
11:47and the
11:47rest,
11:48from Monday
11:49onwards,
11:50people will
11:50talk about
11:51that and
11:51deal with
11:52that.
11:57I want to
11:58ask you
11:58about the
11:59attack.
12:00Kukul is
12:01playing well
12:01recently,
12:03he's got a
12:04good goal
12:04average,
12:05one of the
12:06best in
12:06the attack.
12:08Will he
12:10start the
12:11match tomorrow
12:11and will
12:13it be
12:14full
12:14Kukul or
12:16Jimenez
12:16tomorrow or
12:17will Rafa
12:18Leal play
12:19and how
12:19has Rafa
12:20Leal been
12:21this week
12:22because there's
12:22been lots of
12:23talk about
12:23his future,
12:25about tomorrow
12:25being his last
12:26match at
12:26San Siro for
12:27Milan.
12:31We've also
12:32got Christian
12:32Pulisic,
12:33don't forget
12:33him please,
12:34he's a very
12:35good player
12:36and he's in
12:38good condition.
12:39The four
12:39attackers are
12:41all well.
12:44Tomorrow we'll
12:45have lots of
12:46options in
12:46attack.
12:47Whoever comes
12:48on or whoever
12:49starts will be
12:50able to depend
12:50on them.
12:51people often
12:56speak about the
12:57attack but I
12:57think the
12:59midfielders haven't
13:00contributed enough
13:03goals this season,
13:0415 goals this
13:06season from
13:06midfielders including
13:07Fofana and
13:09Ruben Loftuschik.
13:10Have these
13:12attacking midfielders
13:13disappointed you a
13:14bit?
13:14Did you expect a
13:15bit more from
13:15them in terms of
13:16goals?
13:17Yeah, they could
13:18have scored more.
13:19I believe they've
13:22got all the
13:22qualities to do
13:23that, to have
13:25better numbers.
13:27Ruben got
13:29injured so he
13:30was out for quite
13:31a long time but
13:33he's had a good
13:34season I think.
13:36It's one thing
13:37have a good season
13:38it's another thing
13:39have a great season
13:40and it all depends
13:41on tomorrow's
13:41result.
13:45I want to ask
13:46about something
13:47off the pitch.
13:48the season is
13:49finishing.
13:59First you were
13:59with Milan then
14:00with Juventus now

14:07was a good start
14:07and then the
14:09results didn't go
14:10as you would have
14:11wanted and some
14:12of the fans just
14:13started to speak
14:14can just ask
14:14questions and
14:17I'd like to
14:18know what
14:21you think of
14:22the as a
14:24pragmatic man

15:40with Andrea
15:42Agnelli at
15:43Juventus
15:43and in return
15:45to Milan
15:48it's not true
15:51it's not true
15:52that the
15:53current owners
15:53are less
15:54passionate
15:54it's just
15:55a different
15:57type

17:20hot air

17:28this could be
17:29the end of
17:29the cycle
17:30for some
17:30players
17:32I think
17:36Rafa Leal
17:36is a player
17:37who can still
17:38give a lot
17:38for Milan
17:39still
17:40contribute a lot
