Milan, Maldini: “Kessie? We have no agreement, our line is clear “

Paolo Maldini, Rossoneri technical director, spoke to the microphones of ‘Mediaset‘ before Milan-Interthe Milan derby. The match is valid for the first leg of the semifinals of the Italian Cup 2021-2022. Here are the statements of him.

On AC Milan’s initiative at San Siro for the war between Russia and Ukraine: “They are symbolic events but they have enormous meaning for us. Having a war in Europe in 2022 is something no one could expect, it’s terrible. We must show closeness to the Ukrainian people with these symbolic gestures, but which have meaning for us ”.

About what he told the team: “I don’t speak as frequently as the coach, but I can understand that when we get closer to a match like this there is tension, then it’s up to the coach to soothe the spirits.”

On Ibrahimovic’s statements on the Scudetto: “He is a winner, it is right that he says this. Maybe we can win this year and it doesn’t mean that he won’t have a future with us anyway. He is thinking about being available again, then we’ll see ”.

On the ranking: “We haven’t won the last two games, which on paper could have been easier games. Our roster is still super, we aim to do better than last year. We are not perfect, we have defects like the others. There is no dominating team for the championship race ”.

On what to improve: “I believe we are competitive in many departments. Right now we have two very experienced players out and we are probably suffering. The experience of certain players is essential to prepare certain games. We have to improve everything to compete at high levels ”.
