Di Gregorio: Bournemouth's mindset did not change even against Milan
Bournemouth's Italian goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio said the team's aggressive style of play did not change after their 3-0 Europa League win over Milan. The keeper also described the difference between football culture in England and Italy.

Michele Di Gregorio, who joined Bournemouth on loan from Juventus, spoke about his team's style of play after the 3-0 Europa League win over Milan. The goalkeeper stressed that the team went out with its own ideas and an aggressive approach, whatever the opponent.
The match followed Mike Maignan's red card in the 28th minute, and Bournemouth dominated from there. Justin Kluivert and Marcus Tavernier scored from penalties, and Amine Adli's late free kick sealed the home side's victory. Milan had no accurate shots on target, so Di Gregorio had a quiet night. He credited his teammates for that.
Di Gregorio said the key difference between England and Italy is the approach to the game. In his view, English clubs play every match in their own footballing way, which leads to more open and intense contests. He said teams can take risks regardless of the opponent's position in the table.
The keeper also said training methods and intensity in England have changed greatly. He described the effort and determination to win the ball back immediately as outstanding.
