RECOBA: "PLAYING WITH A STRIKER ON THE WING GIVES YOU MORE POSSIBILITIES WHEN YOU'RE ATTACKING."

APPIANO GENTILE - Alvaro Recoba press conference (1).

You've scored five goals in the ten matches against provincial sides. Is it just a coincidence or is there an explanation?
Unfortunately, I haven't scored in the matches that count more. This is important because it would help us take points away from our competitors. And those points could turn out to be determining at the end.

Milan seem to have more problems with the smaller clubs...
I saw their last match. They didn't play very well, but this has also happened to us. The penalty, which was evident, helped them to unblock the situation.

Is it a question of concentration?
This year the first four are clearly superior to the others on a tactical level. Sometimes the small sides create problems for you, they close up and come forward on the break. But if everything goes like it should do...

Cuper has praised the three strikers trial...
If you play with a striker on the wing, you have more possibilities when you're attacking. But I don't think I will always play on the wing. In the cup I could even play as second striker.

You, however, just prefer to play...
With the trident you have three strikers. Against Torino we didn't start out with the idea of playing with three forwards. I played as an advanced midfielder, just like Emre, who is very strong and has done very well.
