Mirabelli spoke after Milan's 2-1 defeat to Empoli: "We will continue to work as we have been doing. We hoped to achieve a different result in today's game; the players gave everything. We must begin to be more determined in our play as we were in the final 20 minutes. We cannot blame the team. This game is an important step towards acquiring a winning mentality. Donnarumma? I saw that he had the desire to stay, but now we must confront the most difficult part which is dealing with his agent."
On his method of work: "It is not news to say I went to see other games; I have been doing it for years. Milan, along with Real Madrid, is the club with the most titles, and this is significant. Whenever Milan is talked about it causes excitement. In this moment we cannot think about the transfer market, because we have a squad with many talented youngsters. Today, we must think about the present: making as many points as possible in order to return to Europe. The new ownership has made more future investment possible, and has already spent a lot to acquire Milan. They have important plans for Milan's future, but it will take time. The ownership wants to bring Milan back to an important place."
