MILAN – Then it was the turn of club captain, Riccardo Montolivo, to speak. He said:

“Missing out on a World Cup is never easy but finally I fell good. Last season I had a lot of problems tied to the operation. This time I have done pre-season with the team, which I hadn’t done last season, and hopefully I can contribute.”
