MILAN - "Our journey continues to move forward, and we’ll try to take a closer look and see what went wrong in the first half. They’re young lads, so things like this can happen. We made our presence felt much more in the second half. AC Milan deserved to win, especially in the first half in which we just weren’t there from an individual and team standpoint," explained Roberto Samaden.
"We and AC Milan will both be in it until the end, in both the league as well as in the other competitions we’ll take part in. Now we have Chievo and Lazio coming up. It’s good to have games like these because the lads can show they’re not the team we saw in the first half."
Then it was time for coach Salvatore Cerrone to speak about his team: "We took the wrong approach mentally by playing a first half that wasn’t very good. We also managed to create chances, especially in the second half. Now we’ll get back to work. But it needs to be pointed out in a more general context that this was only the first derby we’ve lost this season. Obviously we’re sorry for the derby defeat, but it’s already time to start looking ahead."
