“Leao stays. Lots of rumors going around that are annoying”
Even the CEO of Milan Furlani he spoke after the match: “Leao stays. She has a long contract with us and wants to stay. Pegs? We have a coach and we are focused on finishing the season. It didn’t go as we hoped, simply because we are Milan, but we are still in second place and we are holding on to it. There are a lot of rumors going around with the change of coach they are giving nuisance, the players said it and we repeat it. Thats enough. We just want to play football and win games. We are only focused on the real work. Dozens of names have been mentioned, so on and so forth. We are already planning the future in the market to strengthen the team with the aim of winning. Ibrahimovic? Champion on the pitch and he is proving it off too. Bring a lot experience and his ideas are fundamental in decisions regarding the future of the club. We have the best fans in the world and we are grateful for that, they are an asset of the club. If they are dissatisfied it is because they are ambitious, like the company.”

Allegri: “Future? Ask the club”
These are Allegri’s post-match words: “Juve next season? I’m a lover of technical players, I grew up with a coach who never talked about formations but about technique. You have to ask the company this question, I only have to think about the end of the season trying to field the best team. The second half was played with confidence, I’m happy with the performance. Football can be played in certain ways, there is a squad that will have to be evaluated to understand if it will need to be strengthened or if it’s okay to face the new season” (Full words HERE).

Milan, the words of Sportiello
Sportiello spoke after the match: “It’s difficult to find yourself so ready, but it’s my job and in recent years it has happened to me often. I am happy with the performance against a team that until a few months ago was playing for the scudetto. Vlahovic’s free kick could have been deceiving, I took a half step towards the center covering my part. That was the most important save. We were missing important players. We defended very well and played a great game with a great mentality. Now let’s use the last few games to defend second place. Pegs? The rumors going around are not nice and they are not good for the environment. But he is a professional and is focused on his work. Then they are not choices that concern us. We are with him as always. The disappointment of the Europa League was the biggest, but let’s move on.”

Pioli and his successors: “I don’t read them”
Pioli analyzed the match after the match: “Rumors about my successors? I don’t read anything anymore for a long time. Friends send me messages, but I’m focused, the only thing that matters is doing well in every match. We are going through a complicated time and reacting like this was important. The boys played the game well. We sacrificed a lot, the players fought until the end. Particular situation even without the fans. We have to do well until the end, we owe it to ourselves and to the club. In the first half we had a good performance, in the second we ran out of energy and Juve crushed us. We waited longer for them, we preferred to do density. But the results determine the judgments and if Juve scored they talked about something else. This was our plan and the players did it well.”
