Milan has been scoring little lately…

What does it mean to be the master of your own destiny?

“What is said on the outside doesn’t interest me much. We have to think only of us. We focus on the most important thing, which is to keep improving.”

How is Italian football?

“The fact that no Italian team are in the top eight in the Champions League is definitely a negative number. The level is high, but I don’t think we miss it that much. We definitely need to improve in terms of strength and efficiency. Our mentality.”

What qualities and virtues should Milan have in the last nine days?

“Positive energy is put on the field in every match.”

Who won’t be there tomorrow?

“Daniel Maldini will not be there because he still has a fever today. Today I will set up Tonale, while Giroud is fine. Diaz took a hit and we will set him up today as well.”

What about Kalolo?

“Kalulu has inside him a belief in his own means that allows him to play with a great character. This always allows him to play calm and calm, it is a huge advantage for such a young player. He has a great desire to improve and now he is reaping the fruits of his labor. Now he has to confirm what good he shows. “.

Ibra was called by Sweden…

“I’m not worried, if he feels like going, he has to go. If he’s convinced, I know that too.”

Have you thought about Rebek, right?

“We have many solutions, it depends on the matches. We will face different teams that play in three directions, so there are different ways to deal with them. The important thing is to always keep the breadth and depth of our play.”

Why is Messias preferred over the Salemakers in the last few games?
