Genoa manager Gian Piero Gasperini (via Football Italia): "It's a great moment for us. We didn't think we'd climb so high. This is the fruit of our results and the development of our game. We have built a team beyond our greatest expectations. It's been years since we last found ourselves so high up."
AC Milan midfielder Marco Van Ginkel (via Football Italia): "I was happy with my performance [against Udinese]. It was a bit frustrating when I wasn't playing. I did good things, but the important thing is that the team got back to winning ways."
