What They're Saying
AC Milan forward Mattia Destro (via Football Italia): "I'm very happy to be here and to be part of this group. I already spoke with [Coach Filippo] Inzaghi. There is a strong drive to do well and to prove that Milan is a great team, starting from this Sunday. I can't wait to get on to the pitch and play. As for my role, the coach will decide. I have a great desire to impress."
Parma head coach roberto Donadoni (via Football Italia): "People mustn't think only of themselves, that is cowardly and hypocritical behavior. If we fought on a par with Juventus, who are top of the table, then it means we can still challenge this season."
