What They're Saying
Cagliari manager Zdenek Zeman (via Football Italia): "The team is calm and confident, but that's not enough. We must try to improve, by helping each other and playing together. Perhaps this Milan is not the team of [Ruud] Gullit, [Franco] Baresi and [Marco] Van Basten, but they're still individually superior."
AC Milan manager Filippo Inzaghi (via Football Italia): "We've analyzed what's happened [with injuries]. There are many causes that have led to this. What's certain is that injuries have affected our results and position. People being out shouldn't be an excuse, but it's important for a coach to have the whole squad available."
