Marco Landucci spoke to Mediaset after Milan’s 3-0 win over Lecce. Here is what he said following the team’s progression in the Coppa Italia:
Gimenez finally scored:
“It’s normal. A striker must score, but his performances have been good. He always made himself available for the team, so it was natural he would score. I’m happy he did it tonight.”
Milan is improving...
“I think we started a bit slow, in the first half we needed to speed up the game. In the second half we did better, Lecce was disadvantaged after being reduced to 10 men. We wanted to progress and we’re happy.”
On objectives, Landucci said:
“Objectives are important, but we must take it game by game. I’m very happy with the team’s attitude, a wonderful group that works hard and pays attention to everything. There’s a good atmosphere at Milanello. We must stay focused, continue to work, and improve. There’s no maintaining level: you either improve or decline. We always want to improve, this must be the aim of Milan’s players. Details, adding one extra meter, stopping shots, running forward are important and the team is doing them well and must continue with humility every match.”
About the big match against Napoli:
“It will be a great challenge. They are very strong. From tomorrow we start preparing. This year they strengthened even more. It will be one of those matches every player wants to play. We face it with humility, and we hope it’s a good game. Sunday is important, but it’s only the fifth matchday and we must stay calm.”
On Massimiliano Allegri’s position in December:
“No, enough now. I’ve done too much already. I need to step back and be more careful. It’s good he’s there, it’s important for the team to have the coach. We try to help and not cause problems.”
