Not the positive result they would have liked, but despite the outcome Vincenzo Montella is happy with his team's display in their 2-0 loss at home to Roma. He spoke after the match, "I am reasonably satisfied with the performance. We faced a squad who last season finished in second place and had 23 points more than we did, and played on par. This has been our best match in terms of balance and aggressiveness. The analysis needs to be very balanced, I am satisfied with what I saw on the field. I will not sleep because of the result, I am disappointed for our fans who applauded us on the way off the pitch. The turning point I hoped for? The performance of the squad has demonstrated that there was a different air about us than before this match, I saw a new spirit and one of Milan. I feel the confidence of the club on a daily basis, I have a club that is balanced in evaluating me and judging my value. Criticism is part of my profession. The table and numbers aren't scary, I know the risks of my profession but when I see a united and cohesive squad I don't worry."
