Gabbia states Milan are not happy with current proceedings: “Want to do more” | OneFootball

Matteo Gabbia’s importance to this AC Milan team has grown massively in the last 12 months, and he spoke after the difficult game against Verona.

In a season where Milan have struggled so often defensively, Gabbia has been a real shining light. After a difficult start to the season, the Italian broke his way into the side and Paulo Fonseca has not looked back since.

In fact, no one has, and this was signified by the club giving him a contract extension.

He has grown massively recently, and there are genuine shouts from the supporters for him to be named as the Rossoneri’s captain at some point, given he is a natural leader and is a projection for the fanbase, given he is a Milanista.

Another reason for the adoration is his willingness to speak honestly in difficult moments and tonight he has done that once again when speaking to DAZN, via Milan News.

Is there positivity in the locker room?

“Absolutely, the atmosphere is healthy and the guys are positive. We are not happy because we are struggling to get results, but the mentality is right. A hard-fought victory like this on a difficult pitch is important and we take home the three points.”

On the standings…

“There is an obligation to try in every way to fix the standings. None of us is happy, we want to do more, we are trying to do it in our daily work. Now we have a difficult situation, we are missing many players. But all those who came in have had a great impact.”

What kind of player is Reijnders becoming?

“Phenomenal, it’s not the first time I’ve said it. This morning I told him ‘Tijji please, let us win the match because I’ll try not to concede’. He’s a man of his word.”
