Milan's Giacomo Bonaventura praises Vincenzo Montella: 'He's no ordinary Coach, I understand why his teams played well'.
The 26-year-old is expected to be one of the linchpins for the Aeroplanino's game, which relies heavily on midfield possession.
“We're learning new things in a relaxed atmosphere, and everyone seems calm, focused and driven,” said Bonaventura, in an interview with the Corriere dello Sport. “When Montella and his staff explained to us their working style, I immediately had the sense that it was interesting.
“There have been quite a few changes in terms of work-loads, nutrition, and also tactics. Our first impression is that of having a Coach who knows his job, who leaves nothing to chance and who certainly doesn't have an ordinary approach like that of many of his colleagues.
“Now I understand why his teams have always played well. He is our extra value.”
The midfielder was then asked to elaborate on the novelties in terms of the team's diet and their new tactics.
“Let's say that he gave us some suggestions, but he did not forbid us any food. I already take care of my professional life very carefully, and I don't deviate from it.
“Our tactical approach now is simple. We must hold the ball and control play. Montella is doing what he can to pass this mentality on to us.”
