These are the words released to Sky by Adriano Galliani, CEO of Monza and former Milan manager:
"We, Monza, want to go to Serie A, we built the team for this even if football is not an exact science. We are second, there are still many games, we can lose a game. We hope that the defeat against Pisa is it was just one episode."
On Milan:
"The last weekend was complicated for me because of Milan and Monza. I am a fan of Monza of course, but I am still a great Milan fan. My heart has remained absolutely Rossoneri. We must not forget the good things he did. Milan so far, we can't just look at the last defeat. Finally we will have a Milan derby between two teams that are in the top two places."
On the derby:
"I will do three things over the weekend: first I will go to Verona to see Monza, then on Sunday at 3 pm I will cheer on Milan and finally I will go by train to Rome in view of the elections for the appointment of the federal president on Monday."
On the 1988 Red Star v AC Milan game:
"Many times I have wondered what history Milan would have had without the Belgrade fog in 1988. We would have won a lot anyway, but maybe not so much. The history of the AC Milan club might have been different."
On the Europa League:
"We hope that Milan can win it. It has strengthened itself, it has an important staff and therefore I hope it can win. Belgrade reminds me of Inzaghi's goal in 2006 and also reminds me of 1988 when I succeeded in a private plane to get a doctor to get Gullit back on his feet for the second game."
