What They're Saying
Fiorentina manager Vincenzo Montella (via Football Italia): "Milan are a prestigious club. They were going through a crisis last season and still managed to beat us. They have important players like Jeremy Menez and Alessio Cerci, who can cause problems for us with their characteristics."
AC Milan manager Pippo Inzaghi (via Football Italia): "I'm not worried because I feel the affection of the president and the club every day. I don't believe they are bluffing with me. I mainly feel bad for the fans who have to read things that are not true."
