14.09.2019 14:28 by Matteo Calcagni Twitter:
What do you think of Rodriguez and Theo Hernandez?
"Rodriguez is punctual, tidy, he always brings bread. Hernandez is more assaulting, more pushing, he has great enthusiasm, even physical arrogance. He is a strong player, I like him. They are two excellent players with different characteristics. When we will put Hernandez in place we could both use them with different characteristics ".
What do you think of Verona?
"Stimo Juric, he has had difficulties in the last few years but he is good. In Lecce he played a great game, he won deservedly: an intense challenge is waiting for us, we will have to be good, otherwise we will tend to enlarge. soft, we have to be careful, we have worked a lot, I expect an intended game, we have to be good at dribbling, it is a game to play well, you can never underestimate the games, with no team and no opponent, victories and defeats they hide in invisible folds. The team knows what game awaits us tomorrow. "
At what point is Duarte?
"It improves, it is an intelligent, curious boy. Every day it goes to my collaborators to review things, it wants to improve, it progresses, but I don't change the central defenders. The defense is a particular department to change, its moment will come, but Musacchio and Romagnoli they are doing things right. Musacchio is a strong player and has good leadership, don't underestimate him. You have it with the players who were there before, do I have to let the new ones play? (Scherza ndr.). new, there is Milan, neither Tizio or Caio: Milan ".
How is Theo Hernandez?
"He has recovered well, he has enthusiasm, he has silver on him, I like him. He must improve the condition, but he won't play tomorrow."
What is the role of Rebic and how is it?
"He says his ideal role is external to the left, in the National team he has also played point and to the right. He is fine on the physical plane."
Has the slogan changed?
"Head up and play football, the slogan has not changed."
Biglia or Bennacer tomorrow?
"Play one of the two".
When will we see Leao and Duarte?
"If he played Leao I should get another one out, as well as Duarte ...".
Are you satisfied by the market? The playmaker did not arrive ...
"I'm happy to coach this group of guys. I can even play with a midfielder or a striker in a trocar, it's like jobs that make a difference."
Do the controversies about the new ones that don't play touch it?
"Eleven are playing, twelve are out. There are those who play and those who do not play, not holders and reserves. The hierarchies depend on daily work. Bennacer could not play in the first game, he had two training sessions. he is a great player. I go beyond these considerations. "
What do you say to those who don't want Castillejo in the field?
"Su Castillejo offends me, he is a great worker and I like him too. At Milan there are no poor players, there are players stronger than others, but the team is very young, some may become stronger than others within a few months "I have to build a team, I have to put together eleven players who do things well. I have to be credible towards everyone. My reference is the team, it's how the players work, their growth. I coached players who at the beginning did not they never played and then they became immovable. To make the difference was maturity, dedication, my choices are geared towards team growth, I will carry on this kind of speech by evaluating the players during the week. engagement, what it cost,otherwise I would lose credibility ".
According to Sacchi Sarri is an esthete, and impatient Conte, you?
"I am an honest worker of the vineyard (laughs ed)".
Does it have a path already traced on the gaming system?
"After seventy days I know how to play, the only thing I did was move Suso and centralize Castillejo. I brought Suso close to his tile, but Suso can play trequartista, I am convinced he can do it. We have changed absolutely nothing, as if I were playing Hakan half right wing and not left wing. In reality we have not changed anything, we work on the same things. I can put a player in a position to express himself better in a certain role but I remain convinced that Suso can play there ".
How is Piatek?
"I have enjoyed these three days. Piatek does not have to be a footballer who only thinks about attacking the last twenty meters of the goal and playing pirated football, he must be a complete player. I liked it a lot this week, he did things in a different way: I had motivated the choice of André Silva for that kind of characteristics, Piatek cannot be said that he cannot do them, Milan cannot always play long ball in depth, Milan must also dribble. "I saw him doing training, he must go outside. He is a complete player and must play as a complete player. The goal must not be an obsession, he must think about playing well, the goal then comes accordingly. If you play badly you do more difficult to score, I trust him too.not as a midfielder ... ".
At what point is your Milan?
"It's not my Milan, Milan is a Milan player, I work on an idea, on a behavior. The difference is made by players with their qualities, I try to give a mentality. I like that the team plays soccer, have the dominance of the game. There is never an end to improvements, the Italian league is increasingly balanced, the differences are subtle. Details can shift the balance, work on details will make the difference combined with the quality of the players.
How important is it to win in Verona in view of the derby?
"It's always important to win, always and everywhere. I don't care that Verona is a tough field for Milan, I don't believe in these things very much. The team has to fight to win against anyone. It's the attitude that makes the difference, on the "I am convinced. The boys train with responsibility and motivation."
Where do you see Paquetà better?
"He is a player who can do both, I will choose based on the matches. Whoever plays as a midfielder must learn to be an attacker. He has the characteristics of a midfielder, so as a playmaker he must learn to move halfway".
What needs to be improved?
"I really like the attachment of the players to do things, I train 21 field players and they are all in doing things. The dedication with which they do things bodes well for me. Everyone needs to be included but they are involved, I have to think about making the team more and more a team.
He has a good coaching budget after the stops ...
"Pure coincidence, I never noticed it. The stops do not shift the balance".
How is the team after the National team commitments?
"They trained well with great professionalism, even those who went to the national team worked well and spent minutes in the legs. They all came back well, they did the training well. I am confident, with work we will put many things in place, the team will it transmits this trust, it does things well and works well with enthusiasm, time will fix things up. The team will always improve, I am sure of this ".
