Speaking to the microphones of Sky Sport, Peppe di Stefano spoke about the situation of the Rossoneri in view of the match against Atalanta:
"Today there was also Gazidis, in addition to Maldini and Massara, to attend the training. The management is close to the team. There are symbolic numbers that represent and tell the story of the Rossoneri's experience: 180 appearances in the Champions League, 120 for Ibra, 60 for Mandzukic and the rest of the team has 38 appearances in the Champions League."
"Only six have played in the Champions League and this shows how inexperienced the team is. Being inexperienced is not always a bad thing: it is good when you go to Juventus lightly and win 3-0, but it is the same lightness that does not make you win against Cagliari. This makes of an unpredictable Milan."
"Here at Milanello they preferred to have aAtalanta winning with a trophy on the bulletin board and that if he lost second place it would not have been a problem."
