Speaking to Milan TV after the goalless draw at the Allianz stadium against Juventus, Marco Sportiello, who took Mike Maignan's place just a few minutes before kick-off, said these words:
"You always have to be ready, even though it's a bit more difficult for a goalkeeper, but in recent years it has happened to me often and I'm quite prepared. It was an important match and I'm happy with my performance, considering I hadn't played for a long time, except against Sassuolo."
On the four important saves:
"The most difficult one was the free-kick because I expected the ball to go over the wall. I took a small step to the center to recover. It was an ugly ball that bounced in front of me, but it was a save I had to make. The others were also necessary."
On the defensive performance:
"We have players of absolute value, these are matches that are in their repertoire. There is trust in all the Milan players. We had many absences but there was no obsession or fear of these disqualifications, we were confident in our abilities."
On the league standings:
"Yes, a good point. We played against a team that until a few months ago was competing for the Scudetto. We had several absences but we defended well and showed great mentality in the game."
