SIENA - Here are the declarations given by the Rossoneri after Siena-Milan (1-1):

Yoann Gourcuff:
"I'm not confident enough yet to be able to play here the way I do for the French national team, but slowly I am moving with more freedom when I'm close to the goal, and I am able to take more risks in the offensive moves.
I am disappointed because this draw is not a good result. The Coach told us that we had to start well in the league because having a position in the league gives more serenity and self-confidence to the group. Too bad, if we had scored quickly it would have gone very differently."

Alessandro Nesta:

"It was an unlucky match. Siena had one shot and scored one goal. It was just an episode, we would have deserved to win.
The game was very uneven, it was a bit of a confused game. I did not celebrate my goal very fanatically, too bad Clarence's free kick hit the crossbar, unfortunately it went like that.
Now let's hope to start well in the Champions League again and show a great Milan side."

Cristian Brocchi:
"Sandro's goal was decisive, strongly desired by the whole team. At the start we had many chances, then unfortunately they scored which changed our attitude. In the second half we reacted, perhaps Nesta's goal arrived too late to overturn the result and try to win.
We did not manage to react properly after Siena's goal, perhaps we were a bit naive in failing to react immediately.
The Coach has our same ideas in interpreting the matches: again, after their goal we should have restarted again as in the beginning of the match. In the second half, however, Milan took command of the match and if the goal had come only 10 minutes earlier, perhaps we would be commenting on a different result."

Emerson:
"I know I can do better, my feelings are good, I feel I am missing a bit of rhythm, but I'm happy to have been able to stay on the pitch almost the whole game. The Coach did everything to make me get to my best condition, I'm just disappointed about the draw, it's a shame.
My first feelings as a Milan player are of satisfaction and happiness to have returned to playing in the league after a difficult period. Even though I am no longer a kid, I still have value: I want to show I can do more, to be able to help the team. Perhaps with a little more confidence and strength in my legs I will also be able to try shots from outside the area, but if I'm not in top shape I can't do that, I hope to try it next week."

Clarence Seedorf:
"Siena came on the pitch to defend, not to win. We started the game well and throughout the 90 minutes they only went forward on counterattacks. In any case the draw is fine even if we could have won: at the start we had many good moves and almost scored. In the first fifteen minutes Milan pushed forward more. But we have to be calm, we showed character to find the equaliser. The league is long, now we have to work hard and not lose any more points. It would have been nice if my free kick would have gone in instead of hitting the crossbar. Now we go forward and look ahead because already on Tuesday we have a difficult match."
