MILAN – This is what Franco Baresi had to say to Milan Channel on the margins of the Fujitsu and AC Milan press conference:

“We are always very happy to accommodate our sponsors at Milanello. We are very pleased to continue this relationship with Fujitsu. It is essential that, in spite of what is happening, sponsors are increasingly elite. We are not used to seeing Milan in this position in the table, but its strength has always been its philosophy, its culture. The Milan brand is always important and has an excellent image, we have to be patient and get back to winning on the pitch. We have won two matches in a row and this is good, both for the team and the players, as long as there is hope to reach Europe will have to give it our all. We still have a chance to get there so we have to give everything. I do not want to make judgments on the coach, it has been difficult, with many injuries, the team was not able to find consistency in its performances and the results have not arrived. But we must remain calm to make decisions for the future. There are still plenty of games to play, then we will see what decisions will be made. Players must think just about playing, clubs matters are unique to the club, I do not think that the players are affected by these off-field matters. Menez has done extraordinary things, he is a player of great quality and he has made a difference on more than one occasion.”
