00:00The team is ready to start the season with confidence and a positive attitude.
00:07We have a great ambition and we want to play this match with our identity.
00:20We want to show the fans what we are capable of and I think it was hard to imagine that after five weeks we would have a better feeling than we do now.
00:39I didn't expect the players to take our ideas so seriously but I am very satisfied and I have a very positive feeling for this first match.
00:59I won't change what I said in the first meeting, we are here to win, we are here to fight for Scudetto.
01:06Every day I work with my boys I have more confidence in this.
01:14There is no other way to see things, we are here, this group is here to fight for Scudetto.
01:23It doesn't matter if it's Torino, the first match is always difficult.
01:31Torino is a very good team, they have changed their coach.
01:40I know him very well, he is a very good coach.
01:46We are a very good team with a difficult organization.
01:51We have a defensive line of five players and it's getting more and more difficult.
01:56It's a quality team with a lot of quality players.
02:02I expect a difficult match but we want to win and we have prepared well.
02:09The players are very motivated.
02:14We know it's going to be a different match than the one we have had so far.
02:23If we think about it, teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona or City don't play like Torino does.
02:36They don't open up, the game is not open like it was against these teams.
02:41We are expecting a more defensive team with less initiative with the ball.
02:51We are expecting a moment for the counter-attack.
02:54I expect a more offensive midfield.
03:00It's the characteristics of Torino, the way they play.
03:07It's a totally different match.
03:10It was very exciting to watch a match against Monza during the holidays.
03:2155,000 fans, it's not easy.
03:25It was very exciting and warm.
03:29I think we will have a full stadium tomorrow.
03:32It will be exciting.
03:35As I said before, sometimes it's not just about the results.
03:43We have to play with ambition to win.
03:49We want to play in a way that makes the fans proud.
03:57They want to come to San Siro to watch our game.
04:05That's our ambition.
04:08It's very important for us to have the fans with us.
