1-1 against Atalanta in Bergamo, Milan that gets the arithmetical certainty of qualification in the Europa League, but not yet that of sixth place that would allow them not to dispute three preliminary rounds. To analyze the match there are the words of Sporting Director Rossoneri Mirabelli at Sky Sports:
"It was not easy to face Atalanta, a team that is putting everyone in difficulty. We came from a hard match on Wednesday, and now we have to defend sixth place. The team had a great performance, from Milan's point of view today. The goal at the end does not give us the certainty of sixth place: tranquility is not part of this season, it does not belong to us this year. We expect a final effort, but today we honestly had to win".
On Donnarumma: "We tried to make a square around a guy who had a problem in the final and that will make other mistakes: he is very young and it is normal, everyone has been and can be in the wrong. He is a heritage of society, we have reassured the future is all its own.
Kalinic? He arrived in unsuitable condition after the withdrawal. Tonight he played an extraordinary game, he did not score many times this year in the league: the attackers are a bit too vintage and his style was not lucky, but Nikola is a striker of all respect", said Mirabelli.
The rossoneri Sporting Director has made the point about the market as well: "We have clear ideas, we have made a special strategy this summer: take as many players as possible to try and open a cycle. We are a young team, and we had some ups and downs this year. Bonucci and Biglia? we put them in to grow this group, a group that will give great satisfaction to the fans, something that has not happened this year for various reasons however."
