What They're Saying
AC Milan president Silvio Berlusconi (via Football Italia): "Now, in every match we must take a step forward, an extra improvement. I encourage the coach to make changes, so that no one feels excluded and so that they always have the desire to continue making sacrifices by keeping themselves in shape."
Udinese midfielder Panagiotis Kone (via Football Italia): "Milan are always Milan. It's a difficult stadium, but we will come to play our game. If we go to San Siro in order to defend for 90 minutes, we will certainly concede. Instead, we're going there to fight and I am sure we'll be able to bring out a great result."
