Interview to Riccardo Montolivo

Riccardo Montolivo has no tattoos, no streaks or ridges, or Vietnamese pigs (as Balotelli), not even anything fancy, but lives in the middle and have fun: "Milan is a great group of kids."

Now that is the master should behave more authoritarian, perhaps taking Balo the ears when you are wrong

"Mario does not need to be treated in a particular way. When it is wrong, the club has made known. Besides it is a young old, long known to withstand the pressures. "

Abbiati, who should be the captain by seniority, how he took his nomination?

"Bonera and he were real gentlemen. For me the bracelet is an honor, a weight and especially something to share with others. At Milan, as I said Ambrosini, always prove 5-6 have always been leading the group. "

The racist chants could be another problem: so far in Italian football have been two cases, both Milan players

"There is a referee who must decide: when buuu an emotional impact to any of us, we will do this, and it will touch him establish what to do. This is the fair and is what happened to the Rome ".

Bracelet apart, now is another Montolivo after a year?

"I think not. I always look alike. Over ten years ago that I behave in the same way. "

But Allegri said on the plane of the personality you've grown a lot

"Probably when one is facing the most important test you give your best. But I've done enough to say I'm from Milan: you need to have a confirmation for more seasons. You have to prove things and surprise every day ".

Between you and there is an obvious Allegri current reciprocal esteem. Have you ever feared that proved someone else to lead them to Milan for this season?

"Honestly, after the end of season one could think that there is that possibility, but I'm glad nothing happened. Allegri has everything to lead a great team. "

Have you been consulted by the club?

"I would never have to. We express the affection and esteem by Allegri quite clearly, and often all ".

And now Allegri perhaps placing it back in the playmaker position, which has made the leap of quality ...

"I play where he thinks is best for the team, I repeat and not a diplomatic statement".

Many critics do not like being in front of the defense is a player like De Jong

"Nigel is a bloodhound to retrieve balls and now. It has quality, comes from the school of Ajax and there always teach you on how to play with the ball. Besides we will alternate when needed ".

Could be a problem when it is used with the selection?

"I think not. Prandelli knows me well, put me at 30-40 meters does not change anything. "

With Selection Milan have again a block

"At the Confederations Cup were five more Poli, which takes times to go to the World. It will make a great season. "

Names? Young to consider?

"Cristante was in the first team and already know. I was surprised Petagna, but for next season also on Iotti point. "

Petagna way of replacing his friend, how are Pazzini?

"Great, but the way back is long. But he felt more than ever within the project Milan, joined the staff. It will help us a lot. "

Balotelli is much talk, but maybe the guy is El Shaarawy protect that ended the season downhill and always under observation

"Stephan is 20 and must metabolize the ups and downs. All have passed, El Shaarawy growth was exponential and pressures were also many. I'm sure Stephan will be confirmed and you will also be in the World Cup. "

How is it that every time a guy is in crisis blames the bride, the head is not the one before etc?

"There is little balance in the media world: get excited right away and when one falls makes more noise."

Are they really waterproof in these situations?

"It seems difficult for a boy of 20 years is completely waterproof. As I said, Mario is a young old and is accustomed to pressure, but also must create a filter Stephan. It is a normal growth process. "

Are you happy with Milan's growth as a team?

"We are more computer than a year ago. We are stronger, we are better prepared. "

Worried about the run against PSV?

"It's a new team but with tradition. Party hard, is especially important that we are prepared. At the start of season fitness sometimes counts more than the technical side. "

Allegri says it is important to confirm in the top three

"The first three means first, second or third, so I sign it."

Is the favorite for the Scudetto?

"Easy: Juve was strong and reinforced. In the second row there are many clubs: Inter, Roma, Fiorentina, Napoli. And Milan ".

If you win the scudetto, do you make a tattoo?

"I would think if it were not that my brain is concentrated in qualifying and I see no further. Ask me again later if we enter the Champions League group stage. "
