Milan will be looking to get back to winning ways when they take on Benevento tomorrow. Manager Gennaro Gattuso spoke ahead of the match at his press conference: "Tomorrow we have a match against a frisky side, that has nothing to lose and who plays nice football thanks to De Zerbi, we must approach the match with great desire. It is true that we haven't won in a month, but we must play as a team and have a great mentality. When you wear a shirt as important as Milan's there is nothing that comes easy, you need to give more, to sacrifice. We know that we play in the Europa League and a cup final, but we need that: it is difficult to wear such a prestigious shirt, we will see where we end up. Two strikers tomorrow? I have to think of the balance of the squad. Now we must look to obtain results, I can't think about attackers who don't score in double digits: they are three important strikers with different characteristics. Who cares about the negative stats of the strikers. We also thank them for not giving up goals, we must not forget what type of players we have and the structure. We must express our potential to the fullest. 2/3 sales and 2/3 arrivals in the Market? I don't worry about this, the CEO and director of sport will think about this, from the first day I was here I could only say that we are good and we aren't missing anything. Reassure the fans that no one is dying from hunger, more will come. On the numbers I can't say anything because I am a coach and not an administrator. It is not clear that players must leave before others arrive: UEFA hasn't ruled yet, we await the outcome. Mandzukic? I like him, I like everyone, even Messi & Ronaldo..."
"To arrive in the Europa League is fundamental. Milan cannot be outside of Europe despite the competition taking energy: it is much better to finish in 6th rather than 7th: it is important for us to reach the Europa League."
