In view of the match against AS Roma, Rafael Leao spoke to Sky Sport Italia and said these words:
"It's not just a special match for me, it's important for everyone. We know the importance of this match: the most important of the season, in my opinion. Aware that we are playing against a good team with great players but we want to move forward."
On the first leg, Leao said:
"Such a game... We made mistakes in the details and they were stronger. We have seen together what we did not do well and we will do better tomorrow."
How do you turn it around?
"By playing. We need a healthy tension because the atmosphere will be great: then it's important to get ahead right away."
How do you deal with criticism? Leao replied:
"In my opinion, there must be criticism to grow. I am a young player: if everything went well, everything seems easy. I must always have that pressure: I feel like I'm facing a challenge in front of criticism. I am with a great coach and great people here at Milan, with Zlatan who is always here next to me and next to us."
On Stefano Pioli's speech in the middle of the field:
"There is always a nice and calm atmosphere. Of course, after a defeat, the first and second day are difficult but the atmosphere is always like this. We know the importance of this shirt here and we go to win every match."
On Daniele De Rossi's tactical move:
"They played well. When the new coach arrived, Roma changed: they are playing good football with great players who make the difference. We made mistakes: the corner, the marking... In these matches, details are important."
