"I thanked the boys; they gave us a wonderful evening, giving the fans, the club, and the staff a great victory. Tomorrow we have to rest, then on Tuesday we'll resume training for Lazio, where we have to do well, otherwise we'll throw away tonight's result, maintaining the balance. We made a few technical mistakes at the start; we were a bit apprehensive; we had to do better."
"You have to improve by respecting the smaller teams, too. When you return to the pitch, you shouldn't be faced with so many goal-scoring situations from throw-ins like we were against Parma. It's not about suffering, but that when you have to defend, you have to be aggressive on every ball to make life difficult for the opponents. When we don't have the ball, we must not concede goals."
AC Milan sits second in Serie A, two points behind Roma, on an 11-game unbeaten run with wins against the rest of the top five. The coach thanked the players for a strong derby performance but insisted on immediate rest and rapid preparation for the Lazio match to preserve team balance. Early technical mistakes and apprehension were noted as areas for improvement. Emphasis was placed on ambition, consistent results, respecting smaller teams to avoid set-piece vulnerabilities, and defending aggressively to prevent conceding goals when out of possession.
