AC Milan legend-turned-manager Filippo Inzaghi was full of praise for his new-look Milan side, and said that they fully deserved their thrilling 5-4 win against Parma on Sunday night. He also talked of his excitement at facing reigning Serie A champions Juventus next Saturday:
"It may only be the second game, but I’m happy to see Milan in first place along with Juventus and Roma. I’m happy for them since they deserve it, we worked hard during the week and the results arrived: we deserved to win, no doubt about it. We know it won’t always be this way, so we need to be careful. Now a great match against Juventus is coming to San Siro, and we’ll enjoy it."
"I am angry yes, but we must be very happy as well. This is an amazing group, let's not forget where we are from. The boys have an amazing spirit and despite our defensive errors the fans should be very pleased. It would be a shame if we hadn't won the game, we were always in the lead. Our goals came from amazing combinations."
"We still have to grow but we scored incredible goals that we had practised in training. This just goes to show that my players take training very seriously. We gladly take these three points and we will now analyse what we need to improve on. We are looking forward to our next game."
"Against Juventus we will need to play a perfect game. We have nothing to lose because they are stronger but in football you never know. I hope that the San Siro and our fans can help us achieve a miracle."
Milan are one of just three sides in Serie A that still have a 100% record, and, whilst they lead the table on goals scored, Juventus and Roma are hot on their tails, with both having not conceded a goal. Inter Milan and Sampdoria follow closely behind in the Europa League places, with AC Milan's rivals thumping Sassuolo 7-0 at the weekend.
