Alberto Gilardino, former AC Milan striker and also Fiorentina, granted an interesting interview to the microphones of La Gazzetta dello Sport and said the following:
"Ibrahimovic? He still manages to make a difference. He's too charismatic. If you have him on the team, you feel it. He has a great physique as well. I like him because he wants to score and also make his teammates score, he sometimes leaves the goals to his teammates and plays as a playmaker."
On Pioli:
"Another one who makes the difference. I know him from having had him as a coach in Bologna. He gave a strong identity, with him everyone is involved, important, empowered. I like the style of play, how they move around the space. In the last quarter of an hour of the derby they impressed me. They put Inter in great difficulty with organisation and compactness."
On Champions League:
"The Champions League is different from everything, Milan have to take some steps and they will do them, it's a natural path. The team is very young and will grow through experience, which can also lead to some mistakes. For the Scudetto it will be a three-way fight, they with Napoli and Inter", declared Gilardino
On Vlahovic:
"He is a modern first striker and knows how to holds the ball well. He shoots very well with two feet, he has explosive strength."
Gilardino on Fiorentina:
"They managed to find some technical stability with Vincenzo Italiano. He has strong notions and ideas. The style he gives can be recognised."
