Montella: ‘AC Milan strikers are Champions League material’
“If I’d pick the same lineup of Tuesday, that wouldn’t mean that’s our definitive formation. Eleven players are not enough, I need everyone for the whole season.”
“The attacking trident is Champions League material, but they can still improve. Niang and Suso have plenty of room to develop. Ninag has to learn how to manage different phases of the game. When to take the ball and when to give it away.”
“Montolivo can cover many roles in midfield and he can do it well. I am really motivated. I am happy to work with these guys, I have enthusiasm.”
“Pasalic is doing well, but is recovering from an injury. It’s not true that I don’t play newcomers. Gomez entered the pitch in the last couple of games, Lapadula had a chance too.”
“Berlusconi is happy with this team and with having young, Italian players.”
“Honestly I had no motivations to stay at Fiorentina. My time there was just over, everyone knows how it ended up. I am sorry many fans did not understand what happened. I was feeling like I couldn’t give them more than that.”
