MILAN- Jeremy Menez gave a press conference today from the Expo Gate in the city of Milan. Here is what he had to say: "I think the most important thing is that we haven’t lost a match, apart from the Juve game. We have the right spirit and we have to continue like this. We have to get back on track this Sunday with a win. With the squad that we have, it would be a real shame not to qualify for the Champions League. If we all pull in the same direction, I think we can achieve that."
Menez continued: "The important thing is to win, then scoring is a secondary matter. We all know that I can do a lot better, I’m trying to find my best physical form. I feel the responsibility from the team, I want to get back on form and help the side. We’re a good team and we must keep working. I’m very happy in Milan, it’s a city that everybody likes."
On his form: "It’s only a physical issue, as I was out on the sidelines for 15 days, I want to do more for the team. We can do well with Torres. We all have to respect the choices of the coach and the needs of the team.
2 or 3 games without scoring much is normal in football, we’ve still got 7 months of the season ahead, let’s hope we can score many as of Sunday. I arrived at Milan to be a protagonist, I can’t give up, I will do all that I can."
Speaking about Montolivo: "He’s our captain, he’s important, let’s hope to have him back as soon as possible. Cagliari? Physically I wasn’t at my best and it was right that I started from the bench, I hope I can get back to doing well as of Sunday. I can play as an attacker or behind the striker. I respect the coach’s choices. Ancelotti? His advice is always good.
The only thing that counts are matters on the pitch, I try to give everything. If I arrived on a free then that’s better for Milan. Juve and Roma? It’s a bit of a strange championship. They’re the strongest but in football you never know, the truth doesn’t exist in football, we’ll see where we come at the end of the season."
