Motta insists the outcome was a positive.
Undefeated: what do you take home?
“A point and continuity for the work we do.”
Why this tactical choice?
“McKennie was the fake striker, then I put Fagioli in. Everyone did great. The changes had to give energy and counter Milan's strongest side.”
Satisfied?
“A very positive point, I also talked about it in the dressing room. Regardless of who plays, you see a team that is one. The players leave aside personal goals, to help the team in all phases of the match. I am confident. My players helped a lot, especially in difficult moments. They all help each other. Milan is very difficult in the open field, but we played a great match.”
As a coach, do you prefer the 4-4 with Inter or today's 0-0?
“I have no preferences. I want to see a team that is good on the field, that reads the game well. I saw my team very well.”
Leao exaggerates with the waterfalls: any comments?
“No, I don't want to say anything. Great player Leao. I say what I think, I also said it when I was disadvantaged by the red card in Coincecao. I don't want to create controversy. I find it difficult.” for everyone: I understand the referee, the linesman: it is a game that is too fast, 80,000 people whistling at you does not help.
How did the McKennie false 9 experiment go?
“It wasn't an experiment and it wasn't a false 9. The only false 9 was someone who could do everything: Messi. McKennie can play in many positions.”
Were you surprised by Milan's attitude?
“It doesn't surprise me. Fonseca is a great coach and I have a lot of respect for his work. Milan are a great team who faced a great team. I understand the winger's needs, but just one mistake can change things. I will never allow myself to criticize the opponent because I have great respect for the coach and Club.”
Can Milan fight for the Scudetto?
“Milan will fight to be above that. They have a great coach and a great team.”
