Before kick-off of Bologna vs Milan, Igli Tare spoke to DAZN. Here are the words of the Rossoneri sporting director.
“We focus on ourselves. Our destiny is in our own hands and we look ahead. We want to win this match to keep momentum in the standings and meet our expectations. Mateta? It was an operation aimed at the future, not the present, then there was a small window to bring it forward and we tried. During the medical examinations we identified a physical issue and decided not to proceed. We will see about the future. The team has done well so far. Leao has had some discomfort in recent weeks, Pulisic also has a minor issue, but we are happy with this squad and we move forward without excuses."
On Mike Maignan, Tare said:
“Maignan? It wasn’t difficult. He is now a symbol of Milan. There was a negotiation to be completed, but his wish was to stay in Milan and he did everything to make it happen. The club ensured everything went through successfully, also to send a signal about the future. As for a defender, there was no real need. If an opportunity had arisen, we would have taken it, but together with Max we decided to continue with this group, which has given us satisfaction so far.”
