All the reactions after Milan vs Atalanta
AC Milan disappoint again losing 0-2 at home against a much more concrete Atalanta. The reactions of the Rossoneri environment after the game.
Massimiliano Mirabelli was interviewed by Sky Sport 24 after the match with Atalanta.
On January and the market: “Today we do not think about January for the transfer market, we would like to arrive in January with some victories. We have already apologized to the fans last Sunday, we do it again. We knew that this project was long and tortuous, maybe we expected some difficulties less. It is to be said that we do not have the time to be demoralized and offer excuses. There is the Italian Cup derby and we must face it with maximum dignity“.
On the team: “You have all analyzed these players, there are a lot of national team players and even youngsters. I’m sorry because we could have done better from the beginning. There are difficulties and we are sorry. For the lost games and for the fans who support us in an important way. We have to win back those people and make believe again those who think that this is not a Milan team”.
On Gattuso: “Rino is a great man, a great technician, we knew we had to face big problems, we saw him tired, but he always works from the morning till the training. He lives Milan in an important way. He cares a lot about the team, he has really important coaching ideas. It’s hard to say it right now, but we have to be men, when things go well it’s all good, it’s easy to work and do things. In these very difficult times we have to stay together to bring the boat to the harbor. We deserve all the possible and imaginable critiques. We need a very strong armor to repulse them”.
On the position: “It is right for me to be protective, I am responsible, of the purchases, of renewals, of reconfirmed players. The biggest responsibility is mine, criticism must be addressed to me. I am proud of all these players who are exemplary professionals, they train in an important way but for a variety of reasons we can not be a team, we all have a clear understanding of our theme and problems. I am willingly in the spotlight, the important thing is to leave the tam alone”.
Donnarumma and Kalinic targeted by the fans
At the 37th minute of the second half, Gennaro Gattuso decided to substitute Nikola Kalinic. The Croatian striker was whistled heavily by the Rossoneri fans present at San Siro at the time of his exit from the field. Same thing happened even to goalkeeper Donnarumma who made a costly error today. The ultras of Curva Sud whistled the Rossoneri keeper when he entered the field after the 15 minutes break, while he was heading towards the goal located below the ultras sector.
Gattuso: I deserve the fu*k yous more than the players
In the press conference after the match coach Gatuso declared: “I deserve the fu*k yous more than the players. I make the choices without any pressure, I feel great responsibility, Will I resign? I will never resign, I am available to what the club decides to do. I have emphasize that I have so much affection and respect for this club that I do not want to be a burden. None of the players could have ever thought we would be in this situation and this certainly weighs and does not help us. I do not know if the derby will be the turning point, but we will play to wom”.
