Milan, Montella: “We must not limit ourselves. Bacca? He was authorized to go to Sevilla”

After the bitterness which resulted from allowing victory to escape them at the last minute in the derby, Milan managed to recover by achieving a good win against Empoli. This being despite the fact that the first half performance was not appreciated by Montella, who spoke to Sky Sport: “I saw a first half in which we suffered more than we should have; we conceded too much, and were also lacking lucidity and conviction. Our marking was not good. However, we managed to be successful with our build up play. We did manage to show a different side ourselves in the second half. A side which we should always strive to express for 90 minutes. We demonstrated the ability to do what we work on in training. Are we the main challenger to Juve? I do not think about this. We must allow the squad and individual players to grow. There is still a lot to work on as we must obtain more continuity throughout the course of a full game. We must not limit ourselves. Lapadula? If he manages to continue scoring at this rate, then it will a problem for our opponents. Bacca at Sevilla? I knew he was going to be there, and he was authorized to be there my both myself and the club. When a player has time off, he is free to go wherever he pleases. I hope he had fun as we certainly did.”
