MILAN – These are the declarations of the Rossoneri at the end of Milan-Parma 2-0:

MASSIMO ODDO “We’re coming from a series of positive results, pity only about the last game against Napoli where we left behind us two points, but now the standings are starting to smile on us and it’s nicer to look at. Personally I always try to give my best from what my characteristics are: running, going forward and following the offensive and defensive manoeuvre. I always try to give my best, at the limit of my possibilities and I do my best so that my work is useful for my team-mates and coach. “Real Madrid will arrive on Tuesday, I think that here at San Siro the fans will not be lacking because it will be an important game, rich in charm, surely nice which all players would like to play and all football fans want to watch. We must confirm the nice performance which we had at Madrid to consolidate the top position in the Champions League group.”

MARCO BORRIELLO: “Tonight’s goals are my first in the league at San Siro, in the past I never played with continuity and when I played I wasn’t fine. I’m happy because I start to see a bit of serenity after a long difficult period: I was coming from a long injury and the coach was good because he managed my situation well. Before in the dressing room we were thinking about the two points that Milan lost at Napoli and that if we hadn’t we would have reached Juventus, but Napoli is doing well, they are in form and it’s ok. The important thing is to continue the positive run. Tonight the three points were important and it was an important night also for me, I desired this a lot and finally the night arrived, I’m very happy. “In life you grow, today I feel more mature humanly and in football. This period of stop helped me to reflect, I thank my family, my friends who were close to me, then I followed a lot football, because when you’re not playing you have more chances to do so. Finally I found the serenity after having had a difficult moment, also in the private life, but now everything has passed. A certain type of press comes out with useless lies, but despite this, I’ve always been serene and I always thought about my work. For the past 15 days I’ve been followed by Meersseman, who took me under his protection and we saw that with the byte I’m better, I train with serenity whereas at first I was forced to take anti-inflammatory. Pato? He’s a champion, but must find the right anger and continuity. Now let’s think about beating Real Madrid on Tuesday, we don’t even have the time to enjoy the goals as we must already think about something new.”

CLARENCE SEEDORF: “Little by little the team is coming out. Us the players are happy, we know that the road is long, but see the team is starting to have confidence in its own qualities and this make me hope well.”
