00:00Good morning, this is the press conference of Cagliari Milan, I give the floor to Mauro Suma for Milan TV.
00:07Thank you Nicola, good morning coach.
00:09Good morning.
00:10Coach, Milan did a great job in Madrid.
00:13A performance of spirit, a performance of play, of result.
00:18How important is it not to vanify the quality, the commitment, even the effort made in Madrid to beat Real tomorrow at Cagliari?
00:28Valorizing Madrid and not vanifying Madrid means doing good to Cagliari, is the team aware of this?
00:36I think it's important to stay with the good things we did, with this spirit, with this courage.
00:48But it's also important to understand that for Cagliari it will be a different game.
00:55We have to be another team to play with Cagliari.
01:04It will be a totally different game.
01:07For me, the day after I stopped thinking about Madrid, I started thinking about Cagliari.
01:16Because it's a very important game and we have to have the right attitude to win this game.
01:24Pepe Di Stefano, Sky News.
01:26Good morning coach.
01:27Good morning.
01:28It's said that there are games that can change the season in the team's head.
01:33Is it possible that the game of the other day, a game that remains in the history of this club,
01:38could have changed the head, the conviction, the awareness, not of the environment, but of its players?
01:44I think that even before the game, the team was aware of what we could be.
01:56Of what we have grown in this time.
02:06Obviously that after a game with Real, the way we did, brings more confidence to the player.
02:18But as I said, all games are important.
02:27I don't think that the game of Real was more important than this game of Cagliari.
02:33As I said, we have to understand the moment, we have to understand the opponents, the competition.
02:41We have to return to our competition, which is a different competition,
02:48and have the right attitude to be able to get a good result.
02:56My second question.
02:57If the so-called Mousa experiment is a one-shot experiment,
03:02linked to that game, or can it become a constant?
03:05Maybe he as a third or three-quarter player, who then played in that different position.
03:09If you make an update also of Morata.
03:15It was a strategy for this game.
03:25I don't know if we can do it in other games.
03:30Maybe we can do it with other players to play in this position.
03:36But it was mainly a strategy for this game.
03:43For the characteristics of Real, for the way we wanted to defend,
03:56maybe we need to do the same in another game.
04:02Morata.
04:04It was a strange situation.
04:08Yesterday we had a clash with Pavlovic.
04:17At first I thought it was a problem like this.
04:25But he's not ready.
04:28He's fine, but he's not ready.
04:31He can't play tomorrow.
04:33Marco Russo.
04:35Good afternoon, coach.
04:37Morata said in the post-match that he's the best of all.
04:44He needs to understand that he can make history in football.
04:47Leao's performance at Bernabéu is the result of everything that happened this week,
04:52of the management that led to this game.
04:56Can you tell us if he'll play from the first minute tomorrow?
04:59Yes.
05:00Will he play from the first minute tomorrow?
05:02Yes, he'll play from the first minute tomorrow.
05:06He played a good game.
05:11I said after the game that I think Rafa can do better.
05:16He can make better decisions.
05:19He's had a lot of situations.
05:23But he played a good game.
05:25We all need to understand that tomorrow will be a completely different game for Rafa.
05:32It will be an individual game.
05:34Without this space that he had in the game against Real,
05:41it will be a different game.
05:44But I expect Rafa to be at the same level.
05:50Andrea Ramazzotti.
05:52Here I am, Mr. Salve.
05:54I'll continue with the question that my colleague asked.
05:58You said that you did well in Madrid, but that you expect to do even better.
06:07Since you decided to play in Madrid with an assist,
06:13with that shot that was then scored by Pulisic,
06:19do you expect any more goals from Leao?
06:25Is this the next step that Leao can take,
06:29given that he's returned to the defensive phase in Madrid?
06:33Do you need Leao's goals now?
06:38Yes.
06:40Rafa has had a lot of situations in the last 30 metres.
06:47One-on-one situations.
06:49He's had maybe 9 or 10 situations.
06:54I think that the last decision can improve.
07:00I think it's clear for everyone that he can improve defensively.
07:05We have to keep working on him to learn these things,
07:12which are important for him, but especially for the team.
07:18Francesco Rocchi, Rai.
07:20Good morning.
07:21Good morning.
07:22How important is tomorrow's game to get back to the top of the table?
07:29It's important for everything.
07:33I don't think we should make mistakes in this type of game.
07:39We can't afford to lose points right now.
07:45We arrived after a good game.
07:50I don't think it makes sense to win against Real if we don't win against Cagliari.
07:57As I said, it's going to be a completely different game.
08:03It's going to be a completely different game.
08:06It's going to depend on our opponents and Serie A.
08:11But it's very important to win tomorrow and on this occasion.
08:16Claudio Raimondi.
08:17Good morning, coach.
08:18Good morning.
08:19I have a question about Leao and his interpersonal relationship.
08:23He explained that he can find more space in certain games.
08:26Tomorrow at Cagliari will be more complicated.
08:28He wants more.
08:29But when you told him about it,
08:31given that it was a strong decision to exclude him from the bench,
08:35how did he deal with this situation?
08:37He seemed untouchable.
08:39It was a brave decision.
08:41We want to understand this relationship better.
08:43How is it now with Rafa?
08:45It's good. It's always been good.
08:47It's always been good.
08:49I can't say everything,
08:53but we coaches try to have different strategies.
08:58I tried to have a strategy with Rafa.
09:02Maybe it wasn't the best strategy.
09:06Now I've tried another strategy.
09:08I think it worked.
09:12That's how we are.
09:15I've never had a problem with Rafa.
09:21On the contrary.
09:25After he accepted the situation,
09:30he reacted the way I wanted.
09:36For me, it's all good.
09:38I hope Rafa can continue like this.
09:43Maybe, if this is the solution,
09:47we can see Rafa on the bench a few more times.
09:53We'll see.
09:55Monica Colombo, Corriere della Sera.
09:57Good morning.
09:59Good morning.
10:00I wanted to ask you,
10:02you gave an explanation about the fact that
10:05in the two games
10:09in which you were against the odds,
10:15it seemed that the defeat was a given
10:19before going out on the pitch.
10:21I'm talking about the derby in Real.
10:23Instead, to my surprise,
10:25you won these performances deservedly.
10:32Because it's the second time
10:36that in the bigger, more important, more authoritative games,
10:41you showed the best performance.
10:46Why did you give an explanation?
10:51Maybe we can have different explanations.
10:58First, I have to say that
11:02these types of games
11:05are a great motivation for the players.
11:10If we can tell the truth,
11:15the players face these games
11:20more motivated than other games.
11:25For me, this is one of the reasons
11:29why I'm more worried today
11:32to play against Cagliari,
11:34which was the first game against Real Madrid.
11:38Then, the games are totally different.
11:42Totally different.
11:47What happens when you play against
11:50this type of team, like Real Madrid,
11:53the worst thing is not having the courage to play.
11:57Because these are games where there is space.
12:01There is space.
12:02The problem is that many teams,
12:04when they play these types of games,
12:07are a little afraid to play.
12:10The main thing is to defend.
12:12I think that here,
12:14the important thing is to transmit to the player
12:16that there is space to play here.
12:18We can play.
12:19We can control the game.
12:22And then, when we start to play,
12:24this brings confidence during the game
12:27to the team, to the player.
12:31That's why I said,
12:34I don't know if you understood me well
12:37or if I explained it well,
12:39sometimes it's harder to play against Monza
12:41than against Cagliari.
12:46In this type of game,
12:49we have space to play.
12:52This is the main thing.
12:54Tomorrow, I'm sure,
12:56we'll have the same space to play.
13:01And the team,
13:04when it's in this context,
13:10it's a team that has courage.
13:12It's a team that controls the game,
13:15that plays together.
13:19That's why we did well.
13:25Let's go to Francesco.
13:26Can I ask you something?
13:27Yes.
13:28I wanted to ask you if,
13:30after this week's historical success,
13:32you have the perception that the Milan fans
13:34love you more.
13:36It's normal.
13:42Today is February 8th.
13:45Has the attitude changed
13:48compared to this summer?
13:50For me, nothing has changed.
13:52Nothing has changed.
13:58I have to follow the path I believe in.
14:01It's not because I won Real Madrid.
14:04Maybe,
14:07if I don't win tomorrow,
14:09I'll come back the same way.
14:11I always have to be balanced.
14:17I've already said that I'm not the kind of person
14:20that when I win, I look at everything.
14:23When I don't win, I don't look at anything.
14:25I'm always the same.
14:27I don't look at anything.
14:30I have to follow the path I believe in.
14:37Please, Francesco Letizia.
14:38Good morning, coach.
14:39Good morning.
14:40Based on what you just said,
14:42about the fact that
14:44the Milan team is better
14:46in certain matches
14:48where you let them play,
14:50and also based on other considerations,
14:53last night, I don't know if you remember,
14:55I joked and said,
14:56if Leao improves again,
14:58then he'll win the Champions League.
15:00Do you have the impression
15:02of having a team,
15:03what in Spain they call Copera,
15:05as a cup?
15:06I'll give you an example.
15:07Ancelotti, in 2002-2003,
15:09was losing a lot of points
15:11with the small teams,
15:12with Livorno, Perugia.
15:13Eden, 2005-2006, 2007-2007,
15:15the team had even less points
15:17than you have today.
15:18And then, in the end,
15:19the Champions League came.
15:20Did you ask yourself this question,
15:23of saying,
15:24maybe our environment is the Champions League?
15:29Honestly, I didn't think about that.
15:37I...
15:38I like it a bit.
15:39I like it.
15:41But I also like
15:43that the team understands
15:47that here in Italy
15:49it's a priority.
15:51We have to
15:53we have to
15:55have the same attitude,
15:57we have to have the same courage
16:01to win the match here.
16:04For me,
16:08Serie A is our priority.
16:12It's true,
16:13we played against great teams,
16:15always well.
16:18We have to do the same
16:19with the other teams too.
16:21This is my concern.
16:24Let's go to Franco Ordine,
16:25Il Giornale.
16:27Here we are, coach.
16:28Good afternoon.
16:30I wanted to ask two things.
16:31First,
16:32the City of Spain
16:34has just said
16:35that they've spoken to Morata,
16:37that Morata is fine
16:38and that he will play
16:41either the first game
16:42or the second.
16:44So I want to ask you,
16:46since after that
16:48Sosta...
16:50The City of Spain?
16:54Of Fuente?
16:55They've said that they've spoken to Morata
16:57and that he will play
16:58either the first game or the second.
17:00Since after Sosta
17:02there's Juve,
17:03wouldn't it be appropriate
17:05to explain to the City of Spain
17:08and to Morata
17:10that it would be better
17:12to rest?
17:14I don't know
17:15how he said that
17:17because there's a protocol
17:21that after a concussion
17:23the player has to stop.
17:24I think it's a ten-day protocol.
17:27I don't know how you can say
17:29that he will play either the first game
17:31or the second.
17:32For me, this is strange.
17:33The indication that I have
17:35is that a player can't do anything
17:37for ten days.
17:38It's a protocol.
17:40It's not an option for us.
17:42It's not an option.
17:43I think it's mandatory.
17:45I don't know
17:46how you can say that.
17:48Very well.
17:49The second observation is this.
17:51You keep saying
17:53that Cagliari's game
17:55will be different
17:57from Madrid's
17:59because you will have
18:01less space.
18:03Since Cagliari
18:05will surely be there
18:07waiting for you,
18:09isn't it the case
18:11to change something
18:13in the structure of the team?
18:17If I knew
18:19the result, I would change.
18:23But I'm not sure
18:27if you can give me some advice
18:29what I can do.
18:31For the win.
18:35But we played
18:37with three midfielders.
18:39How can you say that we didn't play?
18:41I can say
18:43Fofana,
18:45Tidji,
18:47Christian,
18:49Pulisic.
18:51We played with four now,
18:53with Mousa.
18:57We played with three.
18:59We played with three.
19:01Let's go to Fabio Conte.
19:03Hi Paolo.
19:05You have to be good
19:07with Cagliari
19:09but to be good
19:11with Cagliari,
19:13as it happened
19:15against Monza,
19:17you don't have to
19:19go in with the right
19:21attitude,
19:23because sometimes
19:25it seems that
19:27you start to try
19:29to find the way
19:31with too much calm,
19:33maybe with more energy.
19:35I'm sure
19:37that we didn't
19:39agree
19:41with Monza.
19:43But I think
19:45that the team
19:47played
19:49with the right attitude
19:51against Monza.
19:53They played with more difficulty
19:55because
19:57we had an opponent
19:59that put more difficulties
20:01without space,
20:03all the time,
20:05but the team played
20:07with the right attitude
20:09and with the right mind
20:11for this match.
20:13Honestly,
20:15I expect that
20:17tomorrow it can be
20:19the same.
20:21Sometimes it's not
20:23about the attitude,
20:25it's about the difficulty
20:27of the match.
20:29We can say that
20:31Stuttgart
20:33that played
20:35with Atalanta
20:37didn't have the right attitude.
20:39Yes, they had,
20:41but they had the difficulty
20:43to play against a team
20:45that defends like this.
20:47I
20:49talk a lot about this
20:51because
20:53as a coach
20:55I know
20:57that it's a big
20:59difficulty
21:01to play
21:03against a team that
21:05plays like this,
21:07that defends like this.
21:09It's difficult.
21:11Longo, Calciomercato.com
21:13Good morning, coach.
21:15You're highlighting
21:17the ability
21:19to surprise the opponents
21:21like it happened with Inter
21:23and Real,
21:25but also to make everyone feel important
21:27in the group.
21:29You said a while ago
21:31that you need a couple of defenders
21:33that are stable.
21:35In reality,
21:37the guys came back.
21:39How difficult
21:41is it
21:43to manage
21:45the moment
21:47of a player
21:49that is very good
21:51and makes a different choice
21:53for the team's sake
21:55against the opponent?
21:57How good is it
21:59to have the players available?
22:01If Ebram plays tomorrow,
22:03we'll see some different solutions.
22:05At the moment
22:07it's difficult
22:09to choose
22:11the players
22:13because we have a lot of players.
22:15What I can do
22:17is to explain
22:19to the players
22:21that it's a tactical choice
22:23and not a choice
22:25based on performance
22:27like all the others.
22:29But I think
22:31that now we have
22:33more chances
22:35to change
22:37and based on the game
22:39and the characteristics
22:41of the game.
22:43For example,
22:45we played the other game
22:47against
22:49Pavlovic
22:51and Malik.
22:53But this game
22:55was more physical
22:57with physical attackers.
22:59Now we have a game
23:01where we have more speed.
23:03Tomori played.
23:05I'm lucky
23:07to have the chance
23:09to choose based on
23:11the game and the characteristics
23:13of the opponent.
23:15I think the players understand
23:17this because I'm
23:19in front
23:21and I explain
23:23when I think I have to.
23:25For me,
23:27it's positive to have
23:29this chance.
23:31I think the players understand
23:33the choice.
23:35There's no problem.
23:37Ebram,
23:39I can say
23:41because in half an hour
23:43you know everything.
23:45There's no problem.
23:47When they arrive,
23:49they say,
23:51the coach is already here.
23:53It's normal.
23:55Tomorrow we'll play
23:59Camarda.
24:01We'll play Camarda.
24:05Cardone.
24:07Good afternoon, coach.
24:09I don't know if you thought about it,
24:11but today you celebrate
24:13four months of Milan.
24:15I didn't know.
24:17I wanted to ask you
24:19if you're satisfied
24:21with this experience?
24:23Very satisfied.
24:25I'm proud
24:27to be Milan's coach.
24:29It's difficult.
24:31It's difficult.
24:33But
24:35I'm very proud
24:37and above all,
24:39very motivated.
24:41To see the work
24:43we've done
24:45and the team's growth
24:47when we have
24:49this sign.
24:51It's highly motivating.
24:53I'm very, very
24:55motivated
24:57and very satisfied.
24:59Stefano Bressi.
25:01Good afternoon, coach.
25:03You've said many times
25:05that Cagliari-Real Madrid
25:07are different games.
25:09But to face this type of game
25:11and the team's
25:13improvement process,
25:15I'm not talking about the squad,
25:17I'm talking about the team's
25:19tactical attitude.
25:21The team's improvement
25:23in this type of game,
25:25Cagliari-Monza,
25:27how much is missing
25:29and
25:31I want to
25:33explain well what I think.
25:37When
25:39we have
25:41a game against Real Madrid,
25:45we
25:47have
25:49the intention
25:51to look for a certain
25:53space, because we have the space.
25:55What I want to say is
25:57that to play against
25:59a team like Real Madrid,
26:01we have to have
26:03a good positional game.
26:05To play against
26:07this type of
26:09team,
26:11we need
26:13something else.
26:15Because here,
26:17when there's an individual
26:19score, there's no
26:21space,
26:23no positional game.
26:25There are other things
26:27that are important,
26:29but I don't want to say which
26:31are important.
26:33I think it's clear
26:39that the way
26:41to face the team's
26:43intention
26:45must be
26:47different.
26:51I think
26:53that in Monza,
26:59against Napoli,
27:01at some point,
27:03we've already done
27:05a lot of good things.
27:07I think we need to
27:09continue to improve.
27:11These things are important
27:13for me to face
27:15this type of team.
27:17Martin Sartorio.
27:19Good morning, coach.
27:21We were all surprised
27:23by Camarda's arrival.
27:25How is Luka Jovic?
27:27Is he still
27:29part of the Milan project?
27:31He's not part of the project.
27:33The problem is that
27:35Luka is not well.
27:37He's not well physically.
27:39He has a problem
27:43that keeps
27:45bothering him.
27:47He's been training
27:49every day,
27:51but with pain.
27:53Today we tried again.
27:55He continues
27:59with this pain,
28:01which is strong for him.
28:03It's limiting.
28:05He won't be with us.
28:07Giovanni Delia.
28:09Good afternoon, coach.
28:11I have a very simple question.
28:13I care about this
28:15because many other players
28:17don't know much about him.
28:19How much do you like
28:21this player?
28:23You use him everywhere.
28:25In the back, in the midfield,
28:27in the wing.
28:29How important is it
28:31to have players like him?
28:33The success
28:35of a team
28:37is achieved
28:39with this type of player.
28:41I'm
28:43very sure
28:45about that.
28:47Moussa is very important.
28:49He already played
28:51a great game against Napoli.
28:53Now
28:55I asked for another role
28:57for Moussa
28:59and he did
29:01very well again.
29:03I know
29:05that he's a
29:07type of player
29:09who is always ready
29:11to sacrifice himself
29:13for the team.
29:15He has
29:17many qualities
29:19that I like.
29:21He was
29:23a decisive player
29:25in the last
29:27game.
29:29I didn't talk about him
29:31because I'm a fan of Delia.
29:33I didn't talk
29:35about the others.
29:37I wanted to,
29:39but the questions
29:41don't come.
29:43Carlo Pellegatti.
29:45Paolo,
29:47I hate you a bit.
29:49I hate you today.
29:51I hate you because
29:53I prepared the question,
29:55I studied it
29:57and you told me
29:59that you play Camarda.
30:01I won't let you down.
30:03If you think that
30:05I have a bonus
30:07of a question,
30:09I'll put mine aside for the next one.
30:11Now you have to explain to me
30:13why Camarda?
30:15How did the boy take it?
30:17What was his choice?
30:19We thought of Abraham as logic.
30:21Tomorrow there will be only titles on Camarda.
30:23Explain to me
30:25why Camarda
30:27and how the boy took it.
30:29It's surprising.
30:31For me
30:33it's not surprising
30:35because he's a boy
30:37who works every day
30:39with us.
30:41I think that everyone
30:43in the club believes so much
30:45in Camarda. He works well,
30:47he understands well
30:49the role of this position.
30:53Yes, but
30:55for me the players don't have
30:57age, they have quality
30:59and he
31:01works every day
31:03with quality.
31:07Morata in this moment
31:09has a very specific role.
31:11Morata
31:13is not always an attacker
31:15of the team.
31:17Morata is
31:19many times
31:21a player who
31:23unblocks.
31:25Unblocks.
31:27Unblocks.
31:29With a passing line
31:31between Cristian and
31:33Tigi.
31:35I honestly think
31:37that
31:39Camarda in this moment
31:41is more ready
31:43than Abraham to play
31:45this role.
31:47I also have to say that
31:49Abraham is not totally well.
31:51He's much better
31:53but he's not
31:55totally well.
31:57I think that
31:59Camarda...
32:01Yes, yes, yes.
32:03It's true.
32:05There was a moment
32:07when he wasn't 100%.
32:11But
32:13I have total trust
32:15in Camarda.
32:17He trained today,
32:19he trained very well.
32:21He's a
32:23young player
32:25but
32:27he has a great maturity.
32:31What's important
32:33for me is that
32:35he's not afraid of anything.
32:37He comes here
32:39and I think
32:41he's a player
32:43who's 25,
32:4526 years old,
32:47he's aggressive,
32:49he works a lot for the team
32:51defensively.
32:53Yesterday
32:55we had
32:57this problem in Morata
32:59and I have to say
33:01that I had no doubt
33:03about the player
33:05who was going to play tomorrow.
