Verona and Milan on the pitch

20:42
Verona, Dawidowicz: “We need to stay focused and pay attention to details”
“We always try to work in the same way, with the same enthusiasm. Then it's easier to work when you win. We need to be more focused on the details and look at what we can do best for the team” So the Polish defender of Hellas spoke to Dazn.
20:38
Milan, Terracciano: “We must not underestimate Verona. What a thrill to be back here”
The words of the Rossoneri player, speaking to Milan TV, former current player: “Every match is fundamental. It's a field I know well. We prepared the match well and we know what to do. We are all aware that it is never easy as a player here (Bentegodi, ed.), even in the past it never was. There is nothing to underestimate“. On the emotion of returning to Verona, Terracciano declares: “It makes me happy. Coming back here is always a great emotion for me. I have a lot of friends and family watching the game today. I will be very happy“.
20:35
Verona, Sogliano: “Difficult match, Milan forced to win”
“For a team that has to save itself, you go through these moments, you have to know how to live with defeats during the championship: honestly it's difficult for me. In Parma the team played a good game, tonight it will be difficult because Milan are in a moment in which they have to get a result. But we also need points, I'm sure the team will put in an attentive performance like in Parma“, are the words of the Gialloblù sports director, Sean Sogliano, interviewed by Dazn.
20:30
Milan, Fonseca: “Theo Hernandez? He has to wait to return…”
The words of the Rossoneri coach to Dazn's microphones before the Bentegodi match: “No two strikers today? I think Morata is the only striker who can help defensively and almost act as an attacking midfielder. Abraham and Camarda are another type of attackers. Then we wouldn't have had anyone as a replacement. Terracciano's choice in midfield? He trains many times as a midfielder. He is a very intelligent player, he understands the role very well. Now we have the option of Liberali and Zeroli who only trained for two days… It's a different game, with an aggressive team that marks individually. I think Pippo is the right solution to start the game“. The coach inevitably also intervened on the Theo Hernandez case: “Theo is with us. I think Jimenez played a great match. He has to keep playing, so it's right for me. Theo, who has done well, has to wait to return. It's a physical question“.
20:28
