“Finishing sixth makes a huge difference. Tomorrow we will have to work hard, we will have to play with professionalism and desire. Fiorentina are a young team, just like us. They have many interesting young players. They attack very well and we must be very careful.

We lost many points during the second half of the season and that cost us a lot, but we can’t forget where we started. We could have played better and done more in certain matches. Yet, I’m very proud of this team and to be its coach, AC Milan is my home.”
