Mathematically after this latest game we've taken another step towards the league title which each time is getting that little bit closer.
It is clear we are going to the miss them, and I have no explanation for the number of muscle injuries we are collecting.
It is extra motivation. He is calm and ready for the match.
We need to up the pace if we want to play effective and attractive football and break down well organised defences.
He's a great player, at any moment he can make a difference.
Fue un buen partido. Lo hicimos todo para ganar este encuentro en un campo muy complicado, creando muchas ocasiones de gol, pero entre los postes y el portero Bonano, que estuvo muy bien, se nos escapó el triunfo en Mendizorroza
But we will only be celebrating when the moment finally comes. The players are delighted with this result because it was a key game but they know how to deal with the euphoria that has been growing throughout the season.
But there isn't a good or bad moment to celebrate the league title.
I would also like to say that the referee behaved very well.
I work the same because the players, the club and the fans deserve it. My main concern is the team and I do not like to get involved in negotiating. I leave that to others.
Milan is a very strong team which has been at the top for a long time.
(Milan) is a team with a lot of experience, a great system of play and a very strong defense. It will be very interesting to see how we react against an opponent of this nature.
I can't fault my players. They worked as hard as always. We created a lot of chances but we missed out on a victory because of the woodwork and goalkeeper Bonano, who did really well,
When you are leading 3-1 it's normal to win, but not today. We deserved more, because at 3-2 we still had control of the game.
