Press Conference:
Where can this Milan go?

Can Ibra advise you?

What do you think of Suso's involution? Do you like Politano?
"I don't participate in media and public processes. I tell my players to believe in themselves even in difficult moments. How one copes with difficulties says what person and what player he is. We must react with pride. Politano? I don't talk about players who don't I'm from Milan. "
Exterior problems for tips?
"If we play with the outsiders with our feet inverted, it is normal that the crosses are different. But we also get a lot to cross with the full-backs. We must improve and create more clear scoring chances."
Is badness trainable?

Can market rumors distract the team?
"During the week I saw the guys concentrated. We can't afford to think about anything else. We want to win again tomorrow. We must not be distracted by the market."
Why did you put Krunic against Sampdoria?
I'd seen Krunic better than Kessie. I have to make choices, but it's not that those who don't play are out of my choices. Everyone who is here is part of the project. Paqueta? Now I am making other choices. "
What do you think of the market rumors on Piatek?
"If I could move the hands to the end of the market. We have to live with these rumors. We are only focused on tomorrow's games. Piatek is called up for tomorrow and therefore is available."
Dialogue with Ibra?
"It is normal that between the coach and such an important player there is continuous dialogue, a player arrives who has not trained with the team and therefore I have to understand what he needs to do more, for the position on the field, it is an added value and it has to be put in the right conditions to make it perform better. We took it to improve the team. It is at the heart of the project. "
Will Ibra play owner?
"I don't think he has a full game in his legs, then it's up to me to decide whether to start him from the beginning or not. I have seen him well this week, but he hasn't played for a while so it's normal that he doesn't have 90 'in his legs ".
Will we see the two tips tomorrow?
"We tried several things. The two tips are a possibility."
What do you think of the relationship between Ibra and Leao?
