Milan were winners over Fiorentina at the San Siro, and with the win, claimed first place in Serie A on 23 points through 9 matches. Afterwards, Daniele Bonera addressed the media to discuss the win: "We are truly delighted for this win. This is a happy, together squad. We enjoy being together, training and making the most of our opportunities. It has grown amid losses and constant effort. We have a humble group of players."
"Pioli is at home but in reality he is a constant with us. What unfolded on the pitch shows the connection between the team and the coach. Pioli is without doubt the great protagonist of the growth of this Milan, a great coach and I am proud to be a part of the group. Scudetto? That requires time and patience, This team must continue to give his best and cannot let up. We certainly will look to remain at the top as long as possible."
"Kessie in my mind is becoming a world class midfielder. He is crucial for our balance. Calhanoglu didn't score but he is going through a moment that's normal in football. We are still happy with his performances, he is crucial for the team. Calabria has improved a lot, he is gaining in self-confidence. Kjaer is an international level defender who has only been slowed down by injuries. Donnarumma in goal is a given."
