Here is what he had to say: 

The first question regarded Diego Milito, pencilled in as a starter today: "The fact that Diego is on the pitch means he’s in good shape and has trained well. Before choosing him the coach has to see he’s in good shape, and he makes assessments based on training. He has to be 100% sure."

"Ranocchia and Guarin are on the bench because of transfer market choices? No, these choices are made based on training during the week, as well as recent games. They’re choices the coach makes from one week to the next."
