Mihajlovic knows well that now that he will not be able to count on Niang he will have to rely on Balotelli and Menez, starting with the return semifinal in the Coppa Italia against Alessandria.
“Now we are well, we are an organized and fighting team. I expect a lot from those who have played less, especially Balotelli and Menez. The two of them will play and I want to see the right answers, no slumps allowed.”
And again, “Balotelli was taken to be important. Tomorrow maybe he will have a chance to play, it is the field that speaks in the end. He has to prove that he can play from the first minute. But it doesn’t only apply to him, but to everyone else.”
Closing remark on Berlusconi: “With the president I have a good relationship, frank, like men. I have affection for him, of course you can’t always agree on everything. I listen to him, then I am the coach and I make my choices. He has never imposed things on me that I don’t feel like doing, I have always had full trust and I thank him for that. Then maybe we disagreed on the choices. We have the common goal of making this team perform at its best and make Milan reach its goals. I try to please him.”
