Christian Pulisic warns the important thing is for Milan to be \u2018consistent\u2019 after three straight victories, while Matteo Gabbia reveals the key to their defensive solidity.<\/p>\n

The Rossoneri are starting to get into a groove now with their third consecutive Serie A win, allowing them to leapfrog this evening\u2019s opponents Udinese in the table.<\/a><\/p>\n

They had opened with a shock 2-1 home defeat to Cremonese, but have since disposed of Lecce, Bologna and now Udinese.<\/p>\n

Pulisic was the Man of the Match after scoring two goals and creating another for Youssouf Fofana, by pressing Jesper Karlstrom into an error inside his own penalty area.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel good. I had a knock today, but I\u2019m fine and very happy for this victory,\u201d Pulisic told Sky Sport Italia.<\/a><\/p>\n

Despite not being fully fit and struggling with an ankle problem, Pulisic has been the key figure for Milan this season, contributing four goals in just five games between Serie A and the Coppa Italia.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not easy to come here and keep a clean sheet, but we are getting solid, we\u2019re moving well with five at the back, and it\u2019s going well. We have a great team, the important thing now is to be consistent, take it one game at a time, and have a great season.\u201d<\/p>\n

With Mike Maignan and Rafael Leao both out injured this evening, Milan defender Gabbia wore the captain\u2019s armband for the first time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am obviously very happy, it\u2019s a dream come true, and a victory makes it even more wonderful. I hope not to wear it again for a while, because we need Mike and Rafa to return as soon as possible, they are our captains,\u201d Gabbia told Sky Sport Italia.<\/p>\n

He wants to spread the credit around for the improvements in their defensive record, as this was the third straight clean sheet in Serie A.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe coach gives us confidence with our work in training during the week, we follow him and his staff. I also want to thank the forwards, as they make it easier for us with their hard work and make sure we are a more united group.\u201d<\/p>\n

Considering Milan do not have the distraction of European football, can they aim for the Scudetto this season?<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all know that we must take it one match at a time, one training session at a time, then we\u2019ll see where we are come Spring,\u201d concluded Gabbia.<\/p>\n
