AC Milan coach Clarence Seedorf was proud of the performance for their 2-0 win over Sampdoria.

Milan won 2-0 in Genoa, with Adel Taarabt on the scoresheet.

"The most important thing is that the squad grows, then the results will help us a lot," Seedorf said to Sky Sport. "These three points will give us mental strength to take forward.

"Today we were good and compact and I must also congratulate Sinisa for how he gets his players to play. It was a good day for Milan in all aspects, in defence and in attack."

The Champions League winner was then asked about the upcoming game with Juventus and the form of several of his players.

"Juventus are doing great things," he commented. "We have one week to prepare for the game, we are at home and we want to beat them.

"Our improvement is just a matter of time, today we managed to get continuity in our play about on the pitch. Taarabt knows how to play in all the roles behind the striker, we are very happy with what he is doing.

"You've asked me the same question for three weeks about Pazzini and Balotelli!

"We only have two central strikers and I can't yet give Petagna the responsibility of substituting one of these players.

"We now need to take it game by game and then we'll see where we are at the end of the season."
