These are Ranieri's words before Milan-Roma: “We will have opportunities, Milan will have them too, we'll see who will be able to exploit them.

I like to give emotions to the fans and you give emotions by building actions We'll play at speed, vertically. There will be a moment when we have to keep the ball, but the idea is to play vertically.”. On the bench in Pellegrini Ranieri said: “He's not happy, woe betide him if he were.
