“It’s thanks to him that we won the Scudetto and reached the semi-final of the Champions League here!”

Alessandro Florenzithe Rossoneri full-back, spoke to Dazn’s microphones after the Milan-Genoa 3-3 match.

The moment you are experiencing, on and off the pitch: “It’s a particular moment, where we haven’t won for a long time and this isn’t good for Milan. Today we came very close but we didn’t succeed. We gave everything and we can go out with our heads held high.”

What effect did the stadium have on you today? “A bit strange, they are the tailwind for us. When you have the wind in your favor you give even more than you can give, by this I mean that they have the utmost respect from us, I speak for the whole team. They make their choices and as far as I’m concerned they do it for the good of Milan. I think it’s not even easy for them not to support their favorite team. I empathize and understand them.”

How are you experiencing the rumors about Pioli? “I think the coach has given a lot in recent years, he has changed a mentality that was there before. Only thanks to him that we got this far anyway. When he took over the team he had been out of Europe for a long time, he hadn’t been to a Champions League semi-final I don’t know how long, he hadn’t won a championship for 11 years. Like it or not, next year Milan will play the Champions League again, we have a goal which is second place. The coach is very spongey, he tries not to let us get anything. Those who know him well know how much he cares about Milan and these people for what they have given him in recent years. I don’t know if he will remain our coach or not, but I think that the team is all behind him for everything he has given to Milan in recent years.”

What did this group miss? “The details that mean we could have won a few more games. We have to face every match to the fullest, especially because we are Milan. The fans made this gesture today because they want the strongest possible Milan, obviously this year we wanted to try to bring home a trophy and we didn’t succeed. We are saddened like them, from what I can think they can rest assured, there has never been a lack of commitment on our part. If the commitment had been lacking then I would have been really worried, we always left with our heads held high. I’m sure they appreciate this.”

Did the elimination from the Europa League have an impact on your opinions? Or more the derby? “In my opinion it weighed so much that in those 10 days we all played a bit. Everyone had hopes of playing for a trophy and we went out with Roma, certainly Inter’s Scudetto victory took something away. If another team had won, perhaps we would have been talking about something else, but still saddened by not having won the championship. But I think we were talking about something else.”
