At the end of the Primavera match between Milan and Inter, which ended 1-1, Milan's defender Jan-Carlo Simic was interviewed by Sportitalia.
Here are his statements:
On the match:
"I think we didn't start the match well, in the first 10 minutes we weren't awake and we even conceded the goal. Then we got into the game and we were the ones dictating the game, it's a pity we didn't win."
On Coach Ignazio Abate's instructions, Jan-Carlo Simic said:
"It's fair, when you're on the field you don't always see everything and it's the coach's impact that helps us. We improve the details, he was right: we were a bit stretched out and Inter was only playing on the counterattack. It was very important to defend well."
What more do you ask from a season that's already very important?
"It's a beautiful journey but it was 2-3 months ago, now I'm focused on helping the Primavera and the First Team, no matter where I play, I always give my best to help my team and my teammates. We want to achieve our goals."
Is this also a message to Stefano Pioli to let him know you're there?
"I say I'm always ready, both for Pioli and for Abate. I always stay awake and ready, there are no problems with that."
