00:00It was a match that we knew had a high coefficient of difficulty because Lazio is a team built to win, a team that is much more experienced than us.
00:12We were very young and then with many guys who are fortunately called up with the older ones.
00:21But it is clear that in today's match the absences could be heavy.
00:25Today's response on the pitch was of the totality of the rose, on which I have great trust in each of them.
00:34Even those who have less minutes because they are boys who have potential and who have often been penalized.
00:42But not for this reason I am not from Milan.
00:44I take this opportunity to congratulate my team and I want to do it publicly because it is not normal to find a group that returns after a week of break, after the holidays, with this professionalism, with this attention with which they have made the holidays.
01:09But they performed really well and I think that the most beautiful training sessions of this season so far have been those of the return from the Christmas holidays, from December 28.
01:19And this is for me and my staff a reason for great pride and above all I am a lucky coach to have to deal with these types of guys who know where they want to go and what their goal is.
01:32Today it was not easy because after the break there were results that were a bit of a surprise.
01:39Cesena beat Torino and we know that the first match after the holidays is full of injuries.
01:48So I am extremely happy.
01:50Today it is important because we followed the last week of the championship where the team had two extraordinary performances.
02:00A Sassuolo against the champions of Italy and a Monza and they followed those two performances.
02:07We want to have this type of continuity, this type of quality of play.
02:12Today we did not manage to win it, but we took very little risk.
02:17In both occasions Longoni was good, he had a great prospect for 2008.
02:23But then the team ground the game, dominated the pitch because we played for a long time in the midfield of Lazio.
02:32And we want to continue even on Wednesday.
02:34This must be our DNA, the desire to try to beat the opponent in front of us.
02:39And even on Wednesday it will be extremely difficult because we find an opponent who beat us in Genoa at the beginning of the championship.
02:47So we know that it is another extremely complicated challenge.
02:50I think we played a good game.
02:55Maybe we lack a little patience, but it's ok.
03:02First match and we continue to work.
03:05We have a lot of young players, a bit like me in 2005, with a little more experience.
03:16It was a little up and down, but now this year we try to continue at a high level.
