Galliani and Ancelotti quotes

ADRIANO GALLIANI:

"After Paloschi's goal I immediately left the stadium exactly like I did last week following Pato's goal. Paloschi did great, he's only 18 years old and he's already scored three goals: two in the Coppa Italia against Catania and one today. Now we have the match against Livorno on Wednesday which gives us an opportunity to leapfrog Fiorentina in fourth place, we have to try. Yesterday night I made a pact with the team for the following two league games after Muslimovic's second goal against Fiorentina, we have made the first step and now let's hope we can continue on Wednesday. Siena played very well, we knew it would be a difficult match especially because of our missing players, and because five of our players were coming off a long injury lay-off, like Serginho and Jankulovski. It was a fundamental victory, we were fearing this game all week.
Once again Kalac saved the result at the last minute and I'd say we have to thank him for the four points he has added to our total between today and the match against Fiorentina, where he also made a great save near the end.
Today we got our fifth consecutive victory in 2008, plus a defeat and a victory in the two recovered matches in midweek."

CARLO ANCELOTTI:

"Not everyone is able to do what Paloschi did today, scoring on your debut 18 seconds after coming on is incredible. I'm very happy for him, I think he's predestined, he has a great goalscoring ability. The players experience the same tension on the bench as on the pitch, they come in with the right spirit and are able to change the course of a match. I am very satisfied with what the team did today, there is a great sense of belonging to this club. Today we had players on the pitch who hadn't played for quite a while and they managed to do well. Until today we have been following other teams, now on Wednesday we'll try to make the others follow us.

"Paloschi has been playing with us for seven years, he can still improve a lot, but all the coaches he's had worked well with him. He's a very determined and serious lad, the future is on his side."

"Vergassola's red card? I think it was the right decision to take, the arm was not close to his body, after the recent meeting with the referees the indications regarding these episodes were very clear."

"Today we started a small rotation, we have to thank all the players in the squad, everyone made sacrifices to be ready. The same goes for Kalac. He feels very sure of himself and is getting stronger and stronger, we have to be proud to have two great goalkeepers."
