UEFA Europa League

MONTELLA: "WE DIDN'T LOSE OUR HEAD"

After the 5-1 win over Austria Wien, Vincenzo Montella reflected on the match and his team's performance addressing the media at the press conference at San Siro.

ON THE MATCH
"It's an important win, we have reached the first objective of the season. This first place gives us the opportunity to be back playing in Serie A TIM more relaxed although we won't underestimate the last game in the Europa League group (away to Rijeka, ed.). I am happy with how my team played because after conceding the first goal we didn't lose our head and we kept attacking. We played an intelligent game. The strikers scored too. It's really a positive night".

ON ANDRÉ SILVA
"Italian football is different, there's less space and less time to think and choose what to do. I am sure he will get used to it, soon: he has enormous qualities and he will manage to do what he's doing in Europe and with his national team in Serie A TIM too. He and Cutrone played a really good game, but they are really young, I can't say how much they can actually still improve".

ON THE TWO FORWARDS
"The fans want to win, no matter who plays. We have to keep the team balanced, we have to be careful. We have less than 48 hours to prepare for the match against Torino which can be a tricky one. I am fully focused on this game".

ON KAKÁ BACK AT AC MILAN
"He's a great guy. I don't know what his future will be. It was really moving to see him again".

ON THE INDIVIDUALS
"Borini adapted perfectly to this new role, it's like he has always played winger. He's improving a lot, it would be great if he could take it to the next level from a physical standpoint. Bonucci's condition? Nothing serious".
