After the exciting comeback for Milan and Montella in the derby, their match against Empoli holds lots of importance to maintain Europa League qualification hopes alive. Here is the press conference from Montella ahead of the game:
“I wanted to start by giving my thoughts and prayers to the family of Michele Scarponi and the cycling community. I also wanted to send my wishes to Ibra and Buchel and wish them a speedy recovery”.
On his upcoming fixture: “Empoli has a solid organization. They’re fresh off the victory against Fiorentina, so we’ll be facing a team convinced of their abilities. Bacca? We talk too much about him: He’s an important player, just like many others in the squad”.
On the transfer market: “I don’t want to make a list. We’ll have a budget and based on our preferred playstyle we’ll choose certain players. Mbappè and Aubameyang are great players, but there were plenty of others on the field the other night”.
