00:00You always have to be ready for a goalkeeper, it's a little different, if I may say so, it's a little more difficult,

00:08but lately, in recent years, it's happened to me often, so I'll tell you the truth,

00:12I'm quite prepared for that, but it was an important and delicate game,

00:20and I'm happy with my performance, I didn't play apart from Sassuolo,

00:28a few weeks ago I didn't play for a long time after the injury, so it went well.

00:34It was definitely Vlaovic's punishment, because I was expecting the ball over the barrier,

00:40but anyway, being a position for a right-back, I allowed myself to make a small step for the center,

00:47so at least I had time to recover, if he had kicked me on my post,

00:52it was a pretty bad ball, because he jumped in front of me with his legs in the way,

01:00but it was a save that I had to make, and it went well.

01:05The others, I think, are also saves that a goalkeeper has to make.

01:09We have players of absolute value, so these are matches that are in their records,

01:16they are normal matches, they are performances that can do very well,

01:21there is confidence in all the Milan players, so we had a lot of absence,

01:29it's true, but there wasn't this obsession, this anxiety, this fear of all these injuries,

01:41or more than injuries, disqualifications, so we were not convinced of our means.

01:48The draw was a good point, we played against a team that until a few months ago

01:55played the Scudetto with Inter, so it's a strong team,

02:02as I said before, we had a lot of absence, but we defended very well,

02:08and I think we played with a great mentality.
