Given the many commitments and critical issues of this season, we need many players. I also tell them that the quantity of minutes is not important but the quality. When the club proposed it to me I immediately said yes, I spoke to him, he is very motivated, he is a winner."
On having both Ibrahimovic and Mandzukic:
"The principles of the game count, we found a balance, we always play with two forwards, one in the middle and one on the left. I haven't talked about tactics with Mario yet. there are so many. It is inevitable that there will be changes and turnover. We need to take no risks. We have lost several players due to injury. I am happy with the choices of the club. The management is ready to do it again if there are opportunities."
On Kalulu:
"I'm very happy and satisfied, he plays with personality and strength, he's another player who can give us satisfaction."

"Seven teams are very strong, all of them will fight to the end to win the Scudetto and get to the Champions League. We will fight to get into the top four, it's a path that must give us confidence. Tonight we won by fighting, the quality is there."
