Interviewer: Let’s delve into the tactical ‌implications. This influx of new talent, ‍especially‍ with ⁤the signings⁢ of Joao Felix and ⁣Santiago⁤ Gimenez, has introduced a new dynamic. How has it affected Milan’s ⁣approach, perhaps in terms of offensive or defensive formations?⁣ Or, do ​you feel⁣ this is simply a matter of adding depth and flexibility in⁤ line-ups?

Guest: It definately added depth.
