MASSIMILIANO ALLEGRI
"An important victory, we need to keep collecting points, and we have 53 at the moment. We can think calmly about the match against Freiburg. As for tonight, we need to improve how we manage the game: at 2-0 we should not leave them an open field, we need to understand the game and not concede easy goals. It's normal for younger players to have some difficulties, and in this case, the more experienced players must lend a hand.
"Dusan performed well, he's improving. He needs to stay calm, sometimes he wastes his energy, but the goal will come, he shouldn't worry. Fagioli? He's coming on well, his feet are firmly on the ground. He was very good tonight, and also Miretti, who moves very well between the lines and played in a great ball in the first half. Rabiot has a different strength from the others, the aim was to play him for an hour to give space to Pogba, but today Paul had a problem.
"As for this moment, I always tell the lads that what they're doing is important. On the field, we are second, and it's not a small thing, it's a sign of maturity, and we have to keep up the work."
ADRIEN RABIOT
"You have to take responsibility and if necessary, do it alone, like for my second goal. I'm happy, less so for the first half, where we conceded two goals that we shouldn't have. It's a matter of mentality and concentration that must always be at the maximum. In the second half, our attitude was good, we needed to win to prepare well for Freiburg, and that's what we did."
MATIAS SOULE'
"I had been waiting for this goal since I started playing in Serie A, I wanted to cry from all the emotion. My first thought went to my family, here and in Argentina. Allegri asked me to do well as a trequartista but also in the defensive phase, it was a very delicate moment. Di Maria advises me a lot, I always try to learn from him, it's an honour to train with him and the rest of my teammates. I like to keep the ball and play between the lines, I try to help the team, and everyone is helping me every day, players, coach and staff."
