Alessandro Nesta, legend of the AC Milan club who spent so many years in the defensive department of the red and black faithful, had this to say to Milan TV before the game against Atalanta:
"I haven't been there for a long time, the crowd that is there today reminds me of when we won the Scudetto years ago against Roma. What changed? We have found that spirit of the past, that sense of belonging that makes the difference. With this emotion you can do anything."
Thoughts on Pierre Kalulu and Fikayo Tomori:
"Two modern powerful centre-backs, you go under high pressure with a lot of space behind them. They allow the team to stay high, today they are fundamental."
Nesta on how these types of games are lived:
"When it's so hot there are those who cry and those who rejoice, today you play the story, the work of a year. You have to be mentally perfect."
If you were the coach today, what would you tell the team?
"You have to arrive mentally perfect, without uncertainties. This team is made to attack and play games openly."
