Ahead of the match against Milan, Eagles' coach Thiago Motta spoke as usual in the press room: "Against Genoa we played with courage and ambition, attacking them throughout the first half and finding the right way to defend and restart during the second half; we were good at staying united and creating so many chances is very important for us, because in Serie A it's never easy to create so many chances and this gives us confidence for the continuation of our journey.
The system of play always depends on the players on the field and the type of opponent you're up against. We've won even playing with other systems of play, the important thing is the attitude and the application with which you take to the field.
This is a young group that has experienced a start to the season full of unexpected events and difficulties, so it was inevitable that we needed time to find the best formula, but we can still grow a lot, taking advantage of the unity shown by a healthy and willing group in recent outings.
It's true that we have a number of players who have been warned against playing, but our thoughts today must only be on Milan, a team built to fight to the end for the Scudetto, then from Tuesday we'll have time to think about Sampdoria; I expect the best Milan possible, those who play for the Rossoneri have a very high quality, regardless of the number of minutes they've played this season, and we're aware that we'll be facing a very strong team, who will do everything possible to continue their run at the top.
Bourabia? He's a great professional who trains hard every day; he can make the difference, we expect a lot from him because he's a complete player.
After Genoa our President said that the road to salvation is still long and treacherous and I agree: we must work every day, trying to do our best for the good of the team, the club, and for our fans.
The Eagles' fans? We play to give satisfaction and make our fans proud, those who always support us, even in the most delicate and difficult moments; against Sampdoria there will be only 5000 seats available because of Covid and we hope that the tickets will be sold out because it would be really important to have them by our side in such an important match: we will do everything to make them proud and earn their applause at the end of the match".
