Alessandro Florenzi, who recently became a pundit for Sky Sport following his retirement from professional football, spoke after the derby to congratulate his former team-mate and friend Yunus Musah. The American is making clear progress under Ruben Amorim's system, and the former number 25 of the Rossoneri spoke to him from the heart.
Florenzi's words:
“I want to congratulate you because you have been through two seasons that have not been easy. I know you are a man who has suffered a lot but has never given up. I can assure you of that because I watched you work alongside me for years. It was truly a great pleasure, so first of all, congratulations, and don't let it go to your head. But I am sure you won't, because you are a good guy," as relayed via MilanPress.it.
“I spoke to Maignan and Bartesaghi before they went back down the tunnel. They were happy and gave me the impression that they needed this victory. They needed it for their morale, to keep going through a journey that is not easy. The Milan we saw this evening is certainly a Milan that gives us plenty of reason to be optimistic and, as they were also saying in the studio, Rabiot and Pulisic, for me, alongside Moreira's outstanding performance, are the leaders on the pitch that this Milan finds it difficult to do without.”
