AC Milan's Brazilian right-back, Emerson Royal, who played the full 90 minutes in the 3-0 victory against Lecce, spoke to the club's official channel and said these words:
"For us, the match against Inter was very important. We won that, and we had to win today as well; it was equally important. Life doesn’t stop after the derby. We talked among ourselves and said that winning this match would be crucial. We need to keep moving forward like this.
On being at the top of the table:
"It’s too early to say that we’re first in the standings. We should enjoy it, but it’s still early. We have to fight for it, we have to fight for the Scudetto: we have the players to do it and to win every match."
Emerson Royal concluded:
"The Champions League is special, very important for us. I’ve only played it once in my life, and I want to keep playing it, reach the final, and win it one day. I’ve written it down on my phone: I want to win it. We know that Bayer Leverkusen is a great team, but we’re going there to bring 3 points back to Milan."
