MILAN - After a lengthy injury which kept him out of action for several months, MacDonald Mariga was keen to say how pleased he was with the win over Palermo: "It was a hard match, but what's important are the three points. I think we needed a win today, now we can build from this. The own goal? Yes, we were lucky but we created a lot of chances and we just couldn't put it away. Now we'll just focus on working hard."
"I'm happy to be back playing, I need to keep working hard, we've got a big squad. My team-mates kept me mentally strong, it's not easy being out for 7-8 months. How important is Cassano's positivity? Antonio's a great guy and he's hilarious."
Finally a word on his future: "Let's see, now I'm at Inter, I have to work hard and be ready if and when the coach calls on me. We'll have a look at the situation in January."
