On Bove
“I was watching the match, it was a difficult moment. He worked with me in Rome, I'm sorry for what happened to him. He's better now, it's not football that's important right now, but his health. They were difficult moments I send a hug from all of us, the team and the club. Today here at Milanello there was a lot of talk about what happened.
On the Italian Cup
“Milan haven't won this trophy for a long time. We have to be ambitious. But let's not look too far ahead, we only think about tomorrow. If we want to go to the final, which must be our goal, we have to win tomorrow.”
On Sassuolo
“For me it's not a Serie B team, they have many Serie A players. It's not just Berardi. They beat Lecce 2-0 in the previous round, they are a strong team, we studied it. I told the boys to expect a difficult match against a Serie A team.”
On training
“If we don't manage the team and the players well we could have physical problems and we don't want that. I have faith in all the players, there will be some changes, but always with the aim of winning the match. Maignan will not be there due to dental surgery. Theo will also not be there due to a bruised foot. The others are all ready to play. I will field a team to win.”
-Su Thiaw ed Emerson Royal
“I agree. Thiaw is in a great moment, Emerson is growing. He arrived late, Serie A is different from the Premier League. He had little time to settle in, I think the last few games have shown that he is getting better and better and growing, even the fans have understood it. The boys need the support of the fans, it's important for them.”
