00:00Good morning everyone, this is the Milan-Udinese press conference.
00:04Let's start with questions from Mauro Suma for Milan TV.
00:06Thank you Nicola, good morning coach.
00:08I'm asking you this question not to present a statistic,
00:12but I'm asking you because you like to look ahead,
00:16you like to think about the importance of the next game.
00:19Milan-Udinese at San Siro in the last nine years,
00:22two wins at Milan, five at Paris, two wins at Udinese.
00:24Perfect balance.
00:26Does this also mean that it's important for us to focus on tomorrow?
00:31It's a statistic that I haven't looked at.
00:34I have to be honest.
00:37But I knew that it's always difficult for Udinese to win here.
00:45I don't think tomorrow will be different,
00:49because Udinese are a good team
00:53and they're starting the season very well.
00:56They're a very aggressive team that plays well
01:01and is very motivated.
01:05I'm sure that we have to be at our best level
01:15in order to win tomorrow's game,
01:18because it will be a very intense and difficult game.
01:23Pepe Di Stefano Sky.
01:25Good morning coach.
01:26We left you 12 days ago in Florence.
01:29You were quite angry about the defeat in general.
01:32How did these 12 days go?
01:35Did you meet the team?
01:37What's the team's psychological and tactical atmosphere?
01:43The first day was very good
01:47because I didn't look at anyone.
01:50As I was angry, they went to the national team.
01:53It was good.
01:54Because after these types of games,
01:57I don't like to see anyone.
01:59But it was normal.
02:04We have a lot of players to train with.
02:08We trained with Milan Futuro.
02:12We also worked with Milan Futuro.
02:18After all the teams arrived yesterday,
02:24we did what we have to do in a normal week,
02:31which is to talk about the game against Fiorentina
02:35and start preparing for the game against Udinese.
02:40Because we have time to prepare for the game against Udinese.
02:46But I know that there are a lot of questions about this.
02:52For me, it was very important yesterday
02:56to talk about what happened in Fiorentina.
02:59More than the game against Udinese.
03:02It was today that we talked more about Udinese.
03:06Can I ask you what the team said?
03:12Everything you think is normal to say
03:17after what happened.
03:19I know one thing.
03:20Maybe there are a lot of questions about it.
03:23I know one thing.
03:25I don't close my eyes to the problem.
03:30We always have problems in every team.
03:33Maybe you know more than in the other teams.
03:37We have problems.
03:38We face the problems.
03:40I don't close my eyes to the problem.
03:45That's what I did with the problem we had.
03:49Let's go to Barbara Cirillo.
03:52Good afternoon, coach.
03:54You have always shown in Rome that you are a silent leader.
03:59It's a type of leadership that we are not used to in Italy.
04:04Do you think that sometimes you can be frantic?
04:09Frantic?
04:10I don't understand.
04:12I don't understand?
04:14I don't understand your silent leadership.
04:19You can't tell.
04:23Look, I don't do my leadership for others to see.
04:31I'm not an actor.
04:34What I think, I say in the dressing room,
04:40face to face with the player, with any player.
04:44Because if we have any problem,
04:47I don't care about the name of the player.
04:51That's what I always do.
04:55For me, what is important in leadership,
04:58is not to look around when there is a problem.
05:02Act immediately.
05:03That's what I do.
05:05Facing the team,
05:09with the players who made a mistake.
05:15Let's go to Viscogliosi, Sport Italia.
05:18Hi coach.
05:19Speaking of what you said,
05:21in these days of words,
05:23there were also words with Ibra.
05:26Did you update yourself with what happened?
05:28Did he have individual talks?
05:31Would it be necessary to have him here
05:33for the general management of the resources of the players?
05:36Thank you very much.
05:37Honestly, I didn't understand.
05:41Did you talk with Ibra about what happened in these days?
05:47About what happened in Florence?
05:49Yes, yes, yes.
05:50We talk almost every day
05:54about everything that happens in the team.
05:58We came back together after the game,
06:02on the train.
06:04We talked immediately after the game.
06:07That's normal.
06:09Let's go to Monica Colombo, Corriere della Sera.
06:12Good morning, coach.
06:14Good morning.
06:17After what you told us about this discussion
06:24with the players in the dressing room,
06:26can we expect,
06:29also at the level of team choices,
06:33a consequent decision?
06:36Who made a mistake in Florence
06:39will be punished, in a way.
06:44We'll see tomorrow.
06:46We'll see tomorrow.
06:51I have a lot of team spirit.
06:55For me, what is important is the team.
06:58For me, there is no player more important than the team
07:01than Milan.
07:04We have to take responsibility when we make mistakes.
07:12If someone makes a mistake in this team spirit,
07:18it's difficult for me.
07:20It's difficult for me.
07:23We'll see tomorrow how it will be.
07:27Can I ask you another question?
07:29Is it correct to say that you want to prove with facts
07:39that the criticism you receive
07:44is that you don't have the dressing room in your hands?
07:50Maybe it's time to prove those facts.
07:54No, I don't need to prove anything.
07:57I said I'm not an actor.
08:00I think that in football,
08:04there is a need to prove things,
08:09but I don't have that need.
08:12I've been like this since day one.
08:15If the players have the opportunity,
08:18they should ask the players how I've been since day one.
08:23Let's go to Marco Pasotto.
08:26Yesterday, Renders said something that intrigued me.
08:31When he said,
08:33we're getting the tactical information,
08:37the way Fonseca plays,
08:39and we're putting it into practice,
08:41it struck me.
08:43What do you think is the reason for this delay
08:49in the way you communicate with the team?
08:52How fast can you go now?
09:01As always, I want to tell the truth.
09:07It's hard to change.
09:09It's always hard to change.
09:13It's hard to change so many things.
09:18If we're changing, then we're changing.
09:22I've been thinking about this,
09:27and I have to understand that it's a big change,
09:32and I have to be more patient than I expected.
09:40We need time.
09:42We need more time to change.
09:47You see things.
09:49You start to see things that are important.
09:54We need to keep going.
09:56Even if we don't have much time to train,
10:00little by little, we'll improve what we need to improve.
10:03What I think we need to improve.
10:08Let's go to Antonio Vitiello.
10:11Hi, coach.
10:12Who will replace Teo Hernandez, who has been disqualified?
10:17Before the break, you insisted on a concept,
10:21that is, you don't change to give stability to the team,
10:25so you don't do a turnover.
10:27Now that many games will start, seven in 21 days,
10:31will you do more turnovers?
10:34Maybe.
10:35Maybe.
10:37Maybe.
10:38I think right now we have this need.
10:44The first question...
10:45Who will replace Teo Hernandez, who has been disqualified?
10:48I haven't decided.
10:50Let's go to Daniele Longo.
10:53Hi, coach.
10:54I'd like to ask if you've looked at what's happened
10:58with the national team,
11:00the idea of playing with Mousa,
11:02maybe even more on the wing,
11:04to go back to what he's done a lot,
11:06even against Inter,
11:07maybe a bit less against Florence,
11:09to focus on the goals.
11:10If there's a solution,
11:12which we can see in these tools,
11:16as fast as possible,
11:19if you can play tomorrow or the day after,
11:21as you've seen in the last week.
11:25About Mousa,
11:26I think I'm lucky to have a player
11:32who can play in different positions.
11:35Playing as a winger right now,
11:37the way we're playing,
11:40doesn't seem like a possibility to me.
11:43He can play in other positions,
11:45but as a winger,
11:46the way we're playing,
11:48I don't see him doing it.
11:52And the others...
11:53Okafor.
11:55It's a possibility.
11:57But I don't know if he'll play.
11:59Let's go to Antonello Gioio.
12:01Good morning, coach.
12:02Tomorrow, Calabria will be missing.
12:04Unfortunately,
12:05Fernandes will be disqualified.
12:06So, there's a dilemma about the captain.
12:08Has it been decided who will wear him?
12:10And if, among the various options,
12:12there's also Morata,
12:13who arrived recently,
12:14but he's someone who can play that role
12:15in a very important team.
12:18It's a good question
12:19to clarify this about the captain.
12:23I arrived here,
12:26I arrived here,
12:28and Milan already had three captains.
12:31Okay?
12:32Calabria,
12:34Theo Fernandes and Rafa.
12:37Why?
12:38Because...
12:39I'm the player with the most games
12:42in Milan.
12:45I may or may not agree with this.
12:50But I've respected
12:51what they had
12:53from last year.
12:55I must respect
12:57this question.
12:58What I think,
13:00what I think,
13:02is that
13:05this team
13:07needs more leadership.
13:10For me, it's not important
13:12who goes on the pitch
13:13and uses the pitch.
13:14For me, it's not important.
13:15But in the dressing room,
13:17I think
13:18it's important to have
13:20two or three more players
13:22to invite...
13:23invite?
13:25To share
13:26the leadership.
13:27For me.
13:31I don't know.
13:32No, I know.
13:33I don't want to say.
13:34But...
13:37I think we have
13:38more players
13:39who can help
13:40these captains
13:41to lead.
13:43And for me,
13:44leading is not just
13:45using the face.
13:46It's more.
13:47It's much more
13:49here.
13:50And we need
13:51this leadership.
13:52And I think
13:53we have more players
13:54who can help.
13:56Okay?
13:57Fabio Conte, Aria.
13:58Hi, good evening.
13:59Good evening.
14:00Good afternoon.
14:01Let me go back
14:02to the answer
14:03you gave earlier.
14:04Do the schedules
14:05allow you
14:06to have that time
14:07that you say
14:08the team needs?
14:10That is,
14:11we have to wait
14:12for a few dirty games
14:13hoping for a winning one.
14:16Until the game
14:17you are looking for
14:18comes.
14:20I am working
14:21a lot
14:22to...
14:25to make the team
14:26grow
14:27and get
14:28what I want.
14:30We don't have
14:31a lot of time
14:32to be honest.
14:33But
14:34what we can do
14:35we are doing.
14:36With the little time
14:37we have
14:38we are doing.
14:39The players
14:40are responding
14:42well to this
14:43even with
14:44little time.
14:47Even if
14:48the intensity
14:49because
14:50it's one day,
14:51two days
14:52to work.
14:55But
14:56we have to continue.
14:57I still believe
14:58that
14:59we will be
15:00another team
15:01in the future.
15:03Please, Giovanni Delia.
15:04Poor coach.
15:06From here to Tuesday
15:07October 29th
15:08three league games
15:09in the middle
15:10there is also
15:11the Champions League
15:12with Bruges.
15:13So I ask you
15:14is this
15:15the crucial moment
15:16of the season?
15:17The first crucial moment
15:18of the season
15:19especially
15:20to show
15:21that the derby
15:22victory
15:23wasn't a coincidence?
15:24That game
15:25was well prepared
15:26and that's how
15:27it will be
15:28for the next games.
15:31I think
15:32that here
15:33there are all
15:34important moments
15:35all important games
15:36and that's why
15:37I don't think
15:38too much
15:39in the long term
15:40in the long term
15:42because
15:43the most important
15:44is tomorrow.
15:45Maybe
15:47tomorrow
15:48we have a game
15:49that is very
15:50very difficult.
15:51I can't think
15:52about the other games
15:53after
15:54three or four games
15:55it's tomorrow
15:56it's tomorrow
15:57also because
15:58we don't have time
15:59the little time
16:00we have
16:01is to focus
16:02the players
16:03on the next
16:04game.
16:05That's why
16:06I don't think
16:07too much
16:08also
16:09here in Milan
16:10all games
16:11are crucial
16:12they are important
16:13they are decisive
16:14they are all.
16:17Maybe
16:18for the fans
16:19the derby
16:20was a decisive
16:21moment
16:22for me
16:23they are all
16:24decisive.
16:26Paolo Vinci
16:28Hi coach
16:29good afternoon
16:30I have a question
16:31from my colleague
16:32Pasotto
16:33about the
16:34renders
16:35the change
16:36is always difficult
16:37you said
16:38when you change
16:39but the change
16:40is difficult
16:41especially
16:42on the technical
16:43athletic
16:44tactical
16:45or psychological
16:46level
16:47for this team?
16:48All
16:49all
16:50they are all
16:51interconnected
16:52they are all
16:53interconnected
16:54for example
16:56we can
16:57talk about
16:58tactics
16:59structures
17:01you
17:02honestly
17:03you think
17:04that we
17:05won
17:06Fiorentina
17:07because it was
17:08a tactical problem
17:10I lost
17:11I lost
17:12because
17:14it's a tactical problem
17:15a technical problem
17:17for me
17:18it's more
17:19for me
17:20it's more
17:22I think
17:23I think
17:24that we
17:25we have
17:27outside
17:28the structure
17:29outside
17:30these things
17:31had
17:32the malice
17:33in the first time
17:35the desire
17:37to run
17:38more than
17:39Fiorentina
17:42this is here
17:43also
17:44it's here
17:45we can
17:46work
17:47everything
17:48but
17:49for me
17:50for me
17:51what was
17:52more important
17:53to see
17:54is that
17:55we
17:56didn't have
17:57aggressiveness
17:58and this is not
17:59tactical
18:00this is not
18:01tactical
18:02we have to
18:03run more than
18:04the opponents
18:05and we
18:06didn't do it
18:07we didn't
18:08do it
18:10Let's go back
18:11Stefano Bressi
18:12Good afternoon

18:15the situation
18:16of the players

18:23Chukwuez

18:25played with
18:26Morata
18:27in that role
18:28who is
18:29an offensive
18:30player
18:31to see
18:32Pulisic
18:33with a
18:34different
18:35set
18:36is it
18:37possible?
18:38Yes
18:39also because
18:40Pulisic
18:41is not
18:42playing
18:43open
18:44in this
18:45moment
18:46he is
18:47a three
18:48quarter
18:49player
18:50so
18:51we
18:52don't
18:53have

18:56player
18:57but
18:58we
18:59have
19:00a three

19:02player
19:03with
19:04Chukwuez

19:36don't
19:37have
19:38a
19:39three
19:40quarter
19:41player
19:42so
19:43we
19:44don't
19:45have
19:46I think they have a lot of quality.
19:53I think that Milan has prepared well for the future.
20:00To create an important space for these young players.
20:06Because this transition is more here in Italy.
20:09It's not easy. It's not easy for these young players.
20:13Milan has created a future for these young players.
20:27Liberale has played the pre-season against Real Madrid, Barcelona.
20:36Obviously, it's a pre-season match.
20:40But for me it was clear that Liberale is a player with a great future.
20:46If he continues to work humbly, because for me this is very important.
20:53He can be a really important player in Milan in the future.
20:58When? I don't know.
21:02What I know is that he's a guy who works with us.
21:06This week he worked with us.
21:10He's a player with great quality.
21:13But he has to continue his growth path.
21:19If we have the opportunity to bring him with us and let him play.
21:24I think it should be the right time, like everyone else.
21:30Because if we don't let him play in the right moment, in the right match.
21:36It can become difficult for this type of player.
21:42What I can say about Liberale is the only thing I can say about tomorrow's match.
21:49He will be with us tomorrow.
21:53Simone Dell'Uomo.
21:54Good evening coach.
21:55I have a specific question about a player.
21:58His performances in the first half of the season have caused a lot of discussion.
22:04I'm talking about Emerson Royal.
22:06What kind of movements, what kind of work does this guy need?
22:11A right-back who can come in, pass the ball, increase the passing line with the midfielders.
22:16Something that Tottenham showed me that he doesn't know how to do.
22:21In Tottenham, we have seen Emerson play as a central defender.
22:27He has played in many positions.
22:31Here, I think he can play as a right-back.
22:42I think this is the strongest role for Emerson.
22:46The problem is that we haven't used this structure yet.
22:52It's more like we play with Pulisic inside.
22:57He has almost the responsibility of the midfielders.
23:00We have to play with the midfielders.
23:02We have to play with the midfielders.
23:05It's more like we play with Pulisic inside.
23:09He has almost the responsibility of the midfielders.
23:14I honestly think that maybe the right role for Emerson is to play as a blocked right-back.
23:29For me.
23:30Let's see if we can play in this structure.
23:37Let's go to Alfonso Sassi.
23:38Good morning, coach.
23:39I have one more question about Christian Pulisic.
23:42His coach, Pochettino, has seen him very tired.
23:46He says that he needs to protect him.
23:48Do you have the same impression?
23:51Is he tired?
23:52He said so.
23:54First of all, I have to thank Pochettino.
23:57He freed the players from the second match.
24:00It wasn't an official match.
24:03He had the sensitivity to let them rest in the second match.
24:10I really liked Pochettino's attitude.
24:15Next.
24:18If the world is playing, we have seven matches.
24:22I think that...
24:27If we think that he is tired now, at the beginning of the season,
24:32we can think of more than 20 matches.
24:37I think that...
24:39It's more.
24:41Christian is in a great moment.
24:43Maybe he was the most consistent player at the beginning of the season.
24:51For me.
24:54It doesn't make sense to talk about tiredness at this point of the season.
25:01Let's go to Carlo Pellegatti for the last question.
25:06A dry question, but it's not a banal question.
25:10Are you having fun?
25:12I'm having fun.
25:14I would like to have more fun.
25:21Being a coach, not only here,
25:29but in all the teams,
25:32it's not a pleasant thing.
25:37It's fun.
25:38It's fun.
25:39It's fun.
25:40It's fun.
25:41I'm satisfied every day.
25:45We have moments.
25:47We have moments.
25:48Because I think that at this level,
25:51it's difficult to always be...
25:56with a smile on your face.
25:58It's not easy.
26:01But there's something I know.
26:05I always carry my passion
26:09every day.
26:11It doesn't change
26:13my profession
26:14for anyone
26:15in the world.
26:17It's not because
26:19I have more money than normal people.
26:22It's because I love what I do.
26:24If it's difficult, it's difficult.
26:26It's difficult for our families too.
26:29It's difficult.
26:30Because I don't come home every day
26:32with a smile on my face
26:34for the kids.
26:36I find myself coming home
26:39and closing the door
26:41and forgetting what's my job.
26:44But it's not easy.
26:46It's not easy.
26:48But...
26:51I have a lot of difficult moments,
26:53but I have a lot of moments
26:55that I like a lot.
26:57That I like a lot.
26:59I think that being a coach at this level
27:02it's not easy to be the happiest person
27:05in the world.
27:07But we have a lot of moments.
27:09Even in difficult moments.
27:12Because in difficult moments
27:15when we solve a problem
27:17it's a moment of happiness.
27:20And being a coach at this level
27:22we have problems every day.
27:27Good luck.
27:28See you later.
