MASSIMILIANO ALLEGRI
"We should have ended the first half two goals ahead, but to reach our goals we need these painful matches. In this way we grow and understand that a match must be closed when it is successful. Having said that, the boys should not be reproached for anything, now we have a few days to prepare for the game against Sampdoria and then we have three more very important ones. This evening Spezia grew in the second half, but all in all, apart from a good save from Szczesny, we managed to close up well. Rugani played a good game, but this year is not the first time; now we have to recover players, also because, in this way, those who always play manage to detach a little. Vlahovic and Morata are looking for each other a lot, perhaps too much: they still need to improve the understanding but they are already doing very well, and it was the same tonight. Arthur? He is doing well and is doing excellent things, with Locatelli he gives a great quality to the midfield."

ALVARO MORATA
"I also said it in the pre match: we knew it would be a difficult match – they are all like that in Serie A and this year there is always suffering. We still need to improve many things, but these are three points that are worth gold for us right now. We had to win by force, we did it, with a great first half: let's continue to work like this and face the next matches."
DANIELE RUGANI
"This was a fundamental victory, and three very important points, and given Atalanta's result it was important to win. We managed to take the game home; the second half was painful, Spezia had quality and played with four offensive players. However, it was clear that we wanted to win at all costs, and so it was. I feel very comfortable playing in the center alongside de Ligt, who is a great defender and is aggressive and physical. Obviously, I am also very happy with Giorgio and Leo. I am pleased to give my contribution, I see Allegri's trust and I am very pleased about it"
