""I liked the attitude, the respect that they showed for their opponents," Chivu told Sport Mediaset."
""I am pleased for what the players showed tonight, but I knew they would, as they are motivated, want to give a sense of consistency to the good work done in recent months.""
""I'm happy for those who played their first at San Siro, those Under-23 players who I knew pretty well," Chivu added. "I'm pleased for Andy Diouf, who had his first start and full 90 minutes, and scored a goal. There are many reasons to be happy this evening. "The lads deserve credit, and they were welcomed into the squad very well, too, by the old guard.""
