Sergio Conceicaocoach of Milanspoke in the press conference at the end of the daring match won 3-2 against Parma, focusing however – in addition to the dispute with Calabria – also on the transfer market: “What do I want from the transfer market? Let’s see. I’m not bluffing, but I’m focused on the players that we have. After Juve I said that we needed something more and I don’t hold back. So I hope that something more can come, if we don’t go to war with what we have. For me they are all starters. Pavlovic worked well over the weeks and you could see he had a lot of desire. I like players with this spirit, believe me, otherwise I would say the opposite as I have done on other occasions: I have a dressing room that has agreed to working differently than in the past. We are changing many things, there is a transition and we suffer a bit. It’s like this with all changes.”
Paolo Scaroni, president of Milan, at the microphones of DAZNhad spoken like this before the match: “The January transfer window is always difficult, I’m not sure we’ll make it in January. We are very careful to create a strong Milan, not only outside the championship where we won a Super Cup as underdogs. In championship we have not always provided up to par.”
