With two difficult games coming for the 4th spot race in Serie A, Milan will have to try to get the three points in Europa League. Vincenzo Montella has talked in the pre Rijeka game press conference at Milanello to present the match: "How do I feel? I feel determinate, serene to analyse everything. I know I train a glorious team and I have a strong desire to coach it. I want to show my passion and determination, I must thank Mirabelli and Fassone who support me and my choices, the club is powerful and strong. I'm proud to train Milan. I'm sure this difficult moment will lead to a growth in the coming times".
About the game: "We need to show we are hungry for a good result, Rijeka is a very physical side. We don't have that many players used to play three games a week and I think that's why we had a little low point. We must get the players used to that fact".
About the lineup: "Paletta behaves in a great way and I must thank him for that. Tomorrow the team will have to be competitive, I'm evaluating the players and haven't made the calls yet. I'm learning to understand the rossonero fan who's shown a lot of trust and activity. There could now be a little satisfaction regarding what was expected but we want to create a certain mentality but we need time to do so. We're one point away from the Champions League in Serie A. There are things to improve but that was planned".
"I think I'm balanced in my choices, I've read way more things about me than I could imagine. You've stimulated me in a positive way, I think we're on the right path. I'm not in trouble, I'm a combattive person and two incidents on the way can happen. We'll go forward".
"People say so many things, like that one who shouts on the field for exemple but I don't think you show you can show your character that way. The same thing goes for our acquisition campaign which has been very important and clear; we got winning players and potential champions but we need to wait for them to adapt and grow. These players are worth a lot and this value will grow but I'll make my lineup choices regarding what I see".
