Alessandro In this he spoke to Sky Sport after the Monza-Milan match. His statements.
Do you leave the stadium with more anger or with more pride?
“With anger certainly, but proud of my boys. We played great games against Milan and Atalanta, we could have scored four goals. We did one but they canceled it. Football is being ruined, there are crazy regulations. We need to go back to refereeing like we used to. People don’t like games fragmented by a thousand fouls. In Bergamo the referees apologized to us, what kind of foul was that in midfield today? We are complicating football…”
How did the referee explain the episode to you? Why did he blow the whistle right away?
“There is VAR, you can go and review it and then say whether it was a foul or not. Football was once simpler, even for contacts. For the first ten minutes you understood the yardstick, then you adapted. I have too much to do to keep up with all this stuff. The regulation must adapt to football, not vice versa. Today it seems that there is a regulation to adapt to. The regulations must adapt to football, not the other way around.”
The goal conceded on the restart:
“We accompanied with too many players, we went with the left arm, the fifths and the midfielder. Then they took off strong again. They have skill in these spaces, they have also had luck, it goes to their head exactly. A shame.”
“I believe that for Monza’s path we must win against teams within our reach. Then when you clash with these armies they can also risk losing when they come here. But we have to score points with the small ones.”
Your Daniel Maldini:
“Daniel is a very strong player, he must find a mental balance. He must understand how strong he is, he must understand that he can have an important career. God gave him qualities, he is a responsibility. He must seek a high level, he went to the national team and must stay there.”
How much advice did Costacurta give you?
“Billy pulled my ears when I was late or left the sink dirty, he was an iron sergeant.”
