AC Milan GM Galliani: Sampdoria best performance of season

Published on: 30 November 2015

AC Milan GM Adriano Galliani says victory over Sampdoria was their best performance of the season.

Milan thrashed Samp 4-1.

“It was an excellent performance, the best I've seen at San Siro this year," Galliani told Milan Channel .

“I like the 4-4-2 system very much, but I continue to believe it's an issue of attitude rather than tactics. Obviously then there are some systems that work better than others.

“This approach makes the most of our wide players. It's almost a 4-2-4 with Alessio Cerci and Bonaventura pushing hard. With this system we cover all areas of the field much better.

“The 4-4-2 also reminds me of the old Milan and I'd say it worked very well indeed. It's a step forward and easily the best home performance this season, but I don't want to say anything because we got ahead of ourselves after the win at Lazio too.

“I want to particularly praise Niang, as let's not forget he is 20 years old. He was playing for Caen and I went to get him because he seemed a great talent.

“The only credit I will take is resisting Genoa, as Enrico Preziosi wanted him on loan with an option to buy. In any case, I thank Genoa for their contribution in helping Niang grow."
