Milan seemed to have their Europa League match against Rijeka in the bag, leading 2-0, but then they conceded two goals and needed a Patrik Cutrone game winner to take the three points. Vincenzo Montella spoke to Milan TV and revisited the match, "What were the positive aspects of yesterday's win? Definitely the pride we showed in the final minutes, this is the most positive aspect. But we must learn to handle the matches better and consequently score more goals. We had the match in total control, but probably everyone began to think about the match against Roma in Serie A and our focus lowered."
Now they return to focus on the league championship after the brutal loss to Sampdoria, "Against Roma I expect a test of our temperament. We need more courage, more tranquility and more joy in our play. I would like for the squad to approach this challenge with the desire to play with serenity. An assessment before the break? There were some good things we did, while there are other things we need to work on. We have lost a little enthusiasm, even unconsciously. Probably we didn't expect the two losses that came, so they left us a little trailing. Sometimes there is a bit of anxiety, to grow with the Milan jersey is not like growing with other shirts, but my squad is very available. In any case we watch step by step."
