AC Milan won away from home against Genoa. The match ended in a 1-2 result, and after the final whistle, head coach Daniele De Rossi had this to say to the media in the usual post-match press conference:
"Amorim? I don’t have to judge him: he is younger than me, but he has much more experience than I do. I learn from him. We study him and watch him. He plays with a formation that I really like. He puts a lot of quality out wide, something I also tried to do here. Obviously, not Moreira, but within the appropriate proportions and possibilities. I like the way he communicates. He does not put all the blame on his players, even when he loses, and he is always honest when he loses. He is doing an excellent job.”
What do you think of Modric? De Rossi replied:
"For anyone who loves this sport, it is exciting to see this player painting football like this at 41 years of age. Last year, I had him man-marked; this year, he played in a midfield two. He has a superior sense of timing in his play. Perhaps he moves a little more slowly, but his mind still works. We had a couple of little exchanges, and I told him: ‘I no longer play, so I can't hit you.’ But it is beautiful, truly beautiful. Him, like Rabiot: world-class players."
