On Atalanta-Milan in 1993: “A match like we always did. We were almost champions, when we went on the pitch it was to win everything. Capello got angry and he was also right because we conceded goals immediately after scoring. He was an incredible person.”
About the training method: “Today when I train, I take his as references. My model is the Italian one, where you work a lot in preparation and then a little less, but tactically during the week. I have remained very Italian in preparation. For me it is incredible, I outdid myself. I am convinced today that without preparation we are not very well.”
On former comrades: “I still speak Italian today because I often speak with many friends I had at Milan such as Paolo Maldini, Filippo Galli, Marco Simone. I had the chance at the draws to see Baresi and Massaro, they are friends. For me it was a privilege to play in this team; when I arrived Milan had already won the Champions League, then they won it again with me in 1994. We were one of the strongest teams in the world and it’s a privilege to have played there.” READ ALSO: Milan-Cagliari, Stefano Pioli’s words on the eve of the Serie A match
