…INJURY REPORT

Almqvist has precise characteristics and I must say that he has always applied himself to teamwork too, not just in attacking depth. It's not that we've lost consistency with him, he also manages to give us these types of ingredients. We try to make a virtue of necessity and find the most appropriate solution for Raffia. I want to keep an open mind and look at other solutions too.

…BERISHA

I consider him a boy with great perspective. He is 21 years old, he is not young in absolute terms, he is young in terms of his path. We must try to make him follow the right path, so that it becomes a virtuous circle. I have to read the situations also for the individual path of the kids. I repeat that I have great respect for football.

…ABOUT THE MATCH

Tomorrow's match on paper has similarities to last Sunday's match. Both teams have quality players. Monza seems like more of a team, but Sassuolo also had strong players with dribbling quality. There are also elements similar to the match against Roma, because Monza seeks to dominate the match. The issue of pressure is significant, let's think about the fact that it limited Sassuolo. However, we still have to achieve the goal. In tomorrow's match I see difficulties in using Burnete. Since the Primavera are playing in Cagliari, I advised him to go and play 95 minutes. I want to reward the work of the Primavera members as soon as possible, but I have to implement the right path. We have Pierotti who can play centrally, Sansone for me is more central than wide. We can add Almqvist as an alternative, he was the second striker several years ago. Djuric is extremely characterised, he wins the highest number of aerial duels in the entire Serie A. Keeping him out of the area is easier said than done. It must be managed with a certain type of attention.

…ABOUT THE MATCH

The match in Lecce last year allowed Monza to win their first point in Serie A. Coming to the bench changed my life, we have made an extraordinary journey. Now there are 5 games left to finish the season and we will do everything we can to play these matches until the end with hunger and mentality as we always have.

…OUR OBJECTIVE

In order to continue to grow, Monza must always be united and work well. There are many reasons to go to Lecce, to play the right game there - We are aware of the fact that it will be a difficult match. Personally, I am lucky enough to have many players and I can choose from many. For me it is very important to have everyone available, to make rotations and have solutions even during the match in progress. Our objective was salvation, the dream could have been Europe or it could even be. Strange championship, we can win or lose, we certainly have to play it out to the end and then see how it goes. We started with the goal of survival while Lazio, Turin and Fiorentina had other goals. It's not easy to stay close to the other teams, but we are proud to be there to compete and score as many points as possible in this final rush.

…DANIEL MALDINI

I'm happy with Daniel, he also gave us a great hand. He was fantastic, he came from a difficult path in Empoli. There was media scepticism when he arrived in Brianza here at Monza but he fit in well and has grown a lot. Thanks to him and the group who welcomed him very well.

…LECCE

We are friends with Luca, he is a very good and intelligent coach and of incredible human depth. Lecce have only lost to Milan in the last few matches, they are a complicated team, with physical strength and counterattacks.
