In the victory against Empoli which puts Milan in second place, the protagonist was once again Lapadula. With his brace tonight the ex-Pescara player has managed to score three goals in only two games.
“Tonight, I want to compliment Suso, and thank him primarily for his two assists,” declared Lapadula in a post-match interview with Sky Sport. I am happy because it was only a month ago when everyone in Italy thought I was a flop. It was in that moment that I acquired even more desire and confidence to demonstrate that I am worthy to play for Milan. With the help of the coach, staff, teammates, and club, I am getting a lot of satisfaction. Montella? He is giving a lot of help. He always gives advice on what runs to make. I am convinced that I can do much more.”
In conclusion, Lapadula thanked Berlusconi: “He was the first to want me in the summer, and tonight he complimented me during a phone call. This made me very happy.”
