MONTELLA: "A SPECTACULAR PERFORMANCE"
Vincenzo Montella addressed Milan TV in the post-match press conference after the Rossoneri defeated Shkendija 6-0 at San Siro.
STANDING OVATIONÂ
"I am really pleased, it has been a very positive evening. We delivered a spectacular performance with, both, good teamwork and individual highlights. Perhaps other players such as Calhanoglu and Suso also deserved to score, but their goals will come with time".
BORINI
"He is improving a lot, he is a player who never gives up. He is always at the complete disposal of the staff and he is an authentic team player. He is really valuable to us".
FOCUS ON THE SERIE A TIM
"Shkendija and Crotone are similar teams from a tactical point of view. Crotone will be playing more defensively, so we will need to increase our pace, be more patient and find the right temper. Now we can enjoy this victory but not for too long as we have to focus on Crotone. We don’t have much time to prepare the game".
Following the match for the Europa League Playoffs, Luca Antonelli also spoke to Milan TV:
"It has been a terrible year for me, sport wise. The last time I played a full match was last year, on September 4th, with Italy. I have suffered a lot. I have to thank my wife, my family, my kids". On his motivation for this season: "I have had a good start this year, I hope to continue like this: now we have to get ready to face Crotone, it will be a very tough match away". On the old guard: "Abate, Montolivo and Jack have shown their loyalty to the club, they have helped the newcomers to integrate into the squad. Ricardo went through a tough year like I did, but he's off to a good start this season by scoring a brace tonight. Now we are both happy. How satisfied was I with the goal? You don't get three opportunities to score in a single game as a defender, I am very pleased. We are in good shape". On Crotone: "We need to focus on Crotone, they are a good team coached by a really good manager".
