"He passed me the ball, and honestly, I expected anyone but him. Instead, he came out of nowhere, from behind. Despite his age, he's always hungry to win and never gives up an inch. He's an example for us and for everyone."
"It's a great strength. Often, those who get less playing time eventually shut down. However, the coach told us from the start to always stay focused and never give up. This is a strength that, in the long run, perhaps towards the end of the games, gives you something extra."
"We all need to feel like starters. Sometimes you start, sometimes you come on for five or 15 minutes. You always have to be ready. We don't wear just any jersey; we always have to honour it and give more than we can, more than 100%."
"The coach has always focused on character, mentality, and the desire to win. Today was perhaps a bit of a bad game, but taking three points is a good sign."
Samuele Ricci came off the bench for AC Milan against Pisa and supplied the assist for Luka Modric's late winning goal. Massimiliano Allegri started Youssouf Fofana in the right midfield role for defensive stability, then introduced Ricci when attacking impetus was required. Ricci praised Modric for making a decisive late run despite his age and called him an example. Ricci emphasised squad unity, readiness when coming off the bench, and the need to honour the jersey. Allegri prioritises character, mentality and the desire to win. Milan took three points despite a below-par performance and a missed penalty, and now face Como next.
