Giovanni Mussa, Milan coach, spoke to Tuttomercatoweb radio during the Maracanà match, highlighting the team's progress and Américo's role. According to Mussa, Milan's growth has been significant since the club changed the game system, managing to effectively integrate more experienced players. “The system change has allowed us to make the most of the old guard, which helps in managing the team during the week,” explained the coach, underlining that the team now has more options without creating compatibility problems.
The coach also commented on Milan's offensive situation, observing that the striker has not yet found his ideal form but that this represents a margin for growth. “Milan are a concrete team and we expect to see how much they can improve,” added Mussa, indicating that the club is in a crucial phase and will soon be put to the test in a real test.
As for Inter, Mussa highlighted the difficulty of the comeback team, citing the loss of two leaders in defense and the need to find replacements who march effectively. “Akanji loses the duel too often, so the defense is weaker than last year, while the front is stronger,” the coach said.
On the Roma front, Mussa praised the team's ability to score goals more effectively, describing it as "very Gasperinian." He stressed that Gasperini needs time to work on his concepts, but that Roma show exciting football, with a strong verticality and ability to win back. “It will be difficult to compete with an Inter that maintains this pace,” he concluded, indicating that Roma will have to continue to improve to keep up with the main teams in the championship.
