During an interview to the microphones of "Sportmediaset", AC Milan full-back Alessandro Florenzi, among other topics, dwelt on the Rossoneri's chances of getting back into the Scudetto race and their ambitions ahead of the Europa League playoff against Rennes. In addition. the former Roma è also returned to talk about the sad episode of racism that occurred during the match against Udinese against Mike Maignan.
"First of all, congratulations must be given to Juventus and Inter for this almost clear path. Our priority is to confirm ourselves in the Champions League next year and continue this positive moment, then, around March-April we will see where we stand and if there is a chance to aspire to something more. Milan has never won the Europa League, but I am convinced that we have all the right cards to try to win the cup" debuted the Rossoneri fullback.
"The newcomers have dropped exceptionally well into the group, they just had to find the best condition-Jovic had not even done the preparation and Okafor had some physical problems, but they are two very strong players who have proved to be essential in the last matches. A lot is always expected of someone like Rafa, but he makes the team run offensively. Although he didn't score, two of the three goals we scored in Udine came from him" added the former Roma player.
"Coming off the field we took a great responsibility, but we were close to Mike: if he had not told us he was ready to come back, we would not have done it. After the game we talked it over among ourselves and as a team we complimented each other on how we handled it. It is no longer enough to say 'stop racism', we need concrete gestures that can also go against the so-called 'law of the field'"” Alessandro Florenzi commented.
