"I didn't know that, I'm happy. I owe a lot to this team, to my teammates, and to the coach for their trust."
"The first goal. I had a lot of people in front of me, but I believed in it and reached the far post. Then I had the whole net open and I just had to get it in."
"It was very important, also for managing the pressure of bigger stadiums. Last year wasn't so great, but you work even when things are difficult, and I think the improvements have emerged, and I'm happy about that."
"It's a shame they didn't help much in getting the three points, but that hug there... I owe a lot to those two, especially to Coach Corradi, who was also my coach in the national team. The other day, he asked me, 'When are you going to score a goal?' We hugged for that."
Bartesaghi scored twice as AC Milan drew with Sassuolo, earning Man of the Match with an 8.5/10 rating. He became the youngest Milan defender to score since Paolo Maldini and attributed success to teammates and coach for their trust. The first goal required more effort amid heavy marking; the second was a simple finish into an open net. Milan Futuro helped him manage pressure at larger stadiums and recover from a difficult prior year through continued work. He shared an emotional hug with Corradi and Magnanelli, crediting Corradi's encouragement. Napoli are next in the Supercoppa Italiana, and Bartesaghi is expected to start.
