MONTELLA: "AGAINST TORO WE NEED TO DOMINATE"
On the eve of the away match against Torino, Vincenzo Montella spoke to Milan TV and to the rest of the journalists at Milanello at the regular press conference. The boss presented the Monday night match against Toro at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.
THE TIM CUP MATCH
"I went over the match again and it confirmed what I saw live. We made a few mistakes in the first half and from one of our mistakes they managed to score. In the second half, we were quicker and did well in marking the opponents. It was a deserved win. We have to start from that second half for tomorrow's match".
TOMORROW'S GAME
"Torino play well with their own style of play. They are strong down the wings and in midfield. Sinisa's teams always play with great character. I'm expecting a very determined team. We'll have to control the game, keep possession and be ready for a battle".
BONAVENTURA AND SUSO
"They play well together. Jack can play both in midfield and up front, and I hope that this harmony will be decisive tomorrow night".
INDIVIDUALS
"Bertolacci is an all-rounder. Sosa played well in the Cup. M'baye was suspended for the Cup match, but he's available for tomorrow. I am really pleased with how the season is going, although I always expect more. Bacca? He's performances have been consistent for years. He's a top level striker".
INJURIES
"Romagnoli resumed full training and he's fit to play. De Sciglio and Poli have both the same issue, but it's nothing muscular. Today we'll know more".
OBJECTIVE
"We have a tight schedule, with 6 games in 21 days. This series of matches will be essential to understanding what our ambitions can be. We are currently satisfied with our position in the league, but I am convinced that in the next 45 days we'll understand more about what we can achieve this year".
IMPROVEMENT
"I think there's still room for improvement. We have a young squad and therefore there may be some mistakes, though we have to improve the approach to the game".
TRANSFER MARKET WINDOW
"I have the privilege of being AC Milan's manager. We don't really need much, our new signings are Bertolacci, Sosa, Calabria and also Zapata. Montolivo will be back in a few months, therefore we have lots of resources".
CONTRACT
"Should they offer me an extension to my contract? Why not".
THE STARTING XI
"When you think about the team you want to play there are different things to take into consideration; what type of game you want to play; which strategy to use; the players' physical and psychological condition; the opponents we are facing".
CALABRIA
"Davide is a young player who can play on both flanks. He has a very strong personality and great desire to play".
