ON THE MATCH
“Having started the season with some problems, we recovered but we’ve struggled in this latest period even if it’s the results that were lacking above all. Despite all this, the team has always stuck together and worked calmly. Today, the team surprised me because they showed that they can play a style of football that we don’t normally like. We need to continue with this attitude.”

GASPERINI
“As I said yesterday at the press conference, I think that Atalanta are putting a unique kind of football into practice. I’m happy with his comments, I often speak with him.”

AC MILAN
“The fact that I played for Milan for many years and that I lifted lots of trophies doesn’t make me feel comfortable, on the contrary, I feel a great sense of responsibility. You can see this, there’s a bit more in terms of nerves but this is part of the job.”

THE FORMATION
“You need energy to play a 3-4-2-1, Laxalt and Borini have it. It’s not a coincidence that Suso and Calhanoglu play better in this system because you have less space to cover and they can create something by playing closer together.”

It’s a very important win. I think that the team had a good game today,
playing with heart and showing great desire on the pitch. We need to continue like this,
going to Parma and looking to win the game. Me and Suso behind a forward? We feel stronger when we play closer together but these are decisions for the Coach to make. I thank the fans who pushed us on to win the game tonight.
We need to continue like this, all together. From here on, every game is a final, the Coppa Italia too.
