Stefano Pioli for Milan TV, Milannews.it and DAZN:
About Ibrahimovic's absence:
We found out about it late in the morning and replaced him with another player. We have our characteristics and we have created many situations for ourselves in today's meeting. Our team is not dependent on Ibra.
About Bodo-Glimt:
We knew we would face many difficulties today. They are a very active team. We knew we were going to suffer, and it was.
Suffering is part of such matches. We faced an opponent who has very fast strikers and can keep the pace for a long time. Their two goals influenced the confidence of our defenders. They managed to create a numerical advantage in the middle of the field and forced them to step back. When you play low you have to be more careful. Their position in the Norwegian league is well-deserved and not a matter of coincidence.
About the victory:
It was a demanding game. Their strikers caused us a lot of difficulties. I have to commend their winger and left, center back. We managed to overcome all difficulties and deserved to win. Technically, we could have done more. The result of today's game is not a matter of the lack of a center forward. We were forced to grit our teeth tonight and it paid off. Our victory could have been more impressive. We can be satisfied with today's meeting. We made many mistakes technically, but we derive satisfaction from today's victory. We could have avoided the nervous ending. We risked a lot. Fortunately, we can enjoy the victory and promotion to the next round.
What do you think about Hauge?
He played a good game today. He did well between zones and on the wing. He is certainly a player at the European level.
What was the team missing in the second half?
On a 3:1 score, we thought the game was under control and everything was decided. With the score of 3:2, fear and anxiety were present. Something like this should not have happened. We need to stay focused from the beginning to the end of the meeting.
About the team:
Our team is not only Ibrahimović. Zlatan is an important part of our team, but we must not forget about the work and commitment of other players. We work hard every day to achieve the best possible results.
About European Cups:
We are now thinking of Crotone and then the away game in Portugal. Today's games have shown that all matches are difficult and nobody can be ignored. Now we need to properly regenerate. New players must understand the mechanisms of our game as soon as possible. There are many absences in our team and we need to be ready. We have to think match by match.
About Kjaer:
Simon has personality and talks a lot on the pitch. He is an important part of our team and we need his experience.
About Colombo:
He was certainly very excited about today's match and it was noticeable. Despite his young age, he presented himself well and performed his duties well on the pitch. He's a great player who wants to work a lot. It's not easy to find players with this attitude at his age. He knows well that he has to work hard and improve in many ways. I am happy with his attitude so far on the pitch. He has a lot of humility and is always ready to play.
About Calhanoglu:
He's a great player who works a lot for the team. It is difficult to expect a player like him to score 2 goals in each match, but I expect him to perform like this. He is a unique player who is a reference point for others.
About Ibrahimovic's absence:
We found out about it late in the morning and replaced him with another player. We have our characteristics and we have created many situations for ourselves in today's meeting. Our team is not dependent on Ibra.

Milan secured their ticket in the play-off round of the Europa League, where they will face Portuguese side Rio Ave. However, it wasn’t easy for the Rossoneri against Bodo/Glimt this evening, as showcased by the scoreline.
STARTING XI
Donnarumma (7): Was called into action too many times, from a Milan perspective, and made several good saves to keep the Norweigan side from scoring. Good game by the youngster.
Calabria (6): Not the best of performances from the Italian, although you can’t really blame him for the first goal. However, he was decent offensively and made few mistakes at the back.
Kjaer (6.5): Continued his good form and remained the calm figure of the Rossoneri’s defence, which certainly is needed now that Alessio Romagnoli is missing. Nothing spectacular, but good overall.
Gabbia (5.5): Made a few vital mistakes, especially on the first goal, and if anything Milan’s lack of a good centre-back option was highlighted this evening. Wasn’t terrible throughout, but the mistakes were bad.
Hernandez (6.5): The Frenchman did well this evening, although he did lack a bit in the defensive phase, which is to be expected. Was involved in the second goal and also contributed a lot going forward.
Kessie (7): The powerhouse of Milan’s midfield. He covers a lot of ground and really helps his side out in many areas of the field. Seeing as Glimt had a lot of counter-attacks, he was crucial to cover ground.
Bennacer (7): Perhaps you could argue he should have a 6.5, but his passing was impressive this evening and so was his vision. Assisted Calhanoglu on the first goal and just like his colleague, he covered a lot of ground.
Castillejo (6): Besides the wonderful assist to Calhanoglu (which upped the rating), it’s a performance to forget for the Spaniard. He just isn’t strong enough and can’t seem to do much dribbling-wise either.
Calhanoglu (8.5 – MOTM): Simply brilliant performance from the Turk. He was involved in all three goals, scoring two and assisting one, and ran the show for Milan this evening. Who knows what it would’ve been like without him.
Saelemaekers (7): Unlike the game against Shamrock Rovers, the Belgian did very well this evening. He ran a lot, as usual, and often won the ball back for his side. Also came close to scoring with a lovely chip and was neat in his passing game.
Colombo (7): The youngster got off to a great start in Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s absence, getting on the scoresheet with a tap-in at the far post. Was surprisingly taken off in the 67th minute despite doing very well.
SUBSTITUTIONS
Maldini (6): Didn’t really have much time to show his qualities but looked promising. Scored a goal but it was correctly ruled out for offside. Could have made better decisions in some situations as well.
Krunic (6): Playing out of position (LM), it wasn’t too bad from the Bosnian. Set Alexis Saelemaekers up for a great chance and the latter nearly scored, as mentioned.
Tonali: N/A

📰SportMediaset: Lyon already has an agreement with Paquetà. It's not excluded that the French club will try to sign the Brazilian midfielder on loan with option to buy or an obligation, tied with Champions League qualification or other goals like how Sevilla did for Suso. https://t.co/DhukU9B38l

Claudio Marchisio: “Milan have an incredible history like that of Juventus. There were some advances from them towards me and I have always said that the only team I would give in to before starting with Juventus would be Milan. But I didn’t.” https://t.co/YR6AmMgNI3
