From the summer transfer window to Sunday's game against Juventus. Rocco Commisso has been interviewed by Il Corriere dello Sport "a tutto campo": "I've found out how fragile deals are and how affected they are by the agents' power. We wanted De Paul, Raphinha, De Rossi and Nainggolan, but the requests for the first two were too high, in our opinion. There hasn't been a big difference between arrivals and departures, we've increased our salary budget by 50m but it's not enough. With today's sales figures, we can't spend 250m, we have to increase our revenue. I know what the people want, but I didn't promise we'd play in Champions League, the objective is to do better than last year".
About Chiesa, who was followed by Juventus during the transfer window: "We didn't receive any phone call from Juve nor from any other team. Someone is hurting the player, always bringing that story up but our position's been clear from the start. Someone is saying the Della Valle brothers sold me the club with a pact saying I shouldn't sell Chiesa but it's all wrong".
About Montella, who he still trusts: "He's always calm, peaceful, he's very different than me. Every coach has his ways to stimulate the team. Montella's work is still ongoing, as there a lot of new players that don't know each other yet. We've played well against Napoli, not that well against Genoa. We'll now see how the Juventus game goes, we need time".
