The Rossoneri are in the Coppa Italia final, but are also on its way to miss a top four finish and Champions League qualification.
Capello wrote for La Gazzetta Dello Sport: “We have to start with the players who are already at the club and increase their value.
“This season, in a Milan that has generally been confusion, (Tijjani) Reijnders, (Christian) Pulisic, and I would also say (Youssouf) Fofana noticed.
“None of the others performed the way they did two nights ago – they have a solid foundation. I closely followed Reijnders between Milan and the Netherlands. You could see that he was a player of a different level, especially for the personality he has.
“However, I admit that I had not expected fifteen goals this season. He has a very strong sense of positioning. And together with Fofana they form a great duo.”
Store Tomori?
He also thought: “I saw great determination in (Strahinja) Pavlovic, and I wonder: why was (Fikayo) Tomori pushed to the margins? It surprises me to see today that he had not been considered before.
“I saw a (Rafael) Leao who was finally hungry: with his physical strength, if he played with 80% of his potential, he would not be stopping – that should be standard. But too often he limits himself to 40%.
“Furthermore, (Mike) Maignan has been reflected and I like him; it is difficult to find someone better without spending much money. I have no doubt about it, I would keep him.
“Pulisic is another player who brings consistency and quality and fits perfectly in Milan. He is one of those players who is guaranteed to have a 6.5 rating, and sometimes even a 7 or higher. I always wonder: who could I find better than he?”
