Empoli midfielder Mirko Valdifiori has admitted he is flattered to have received compliments from AC Milan’s Adriano Galliani, however he is only focused on helping his side move up the Serie A standings.

The Rossoneri vice-president had praised the deep-lying playmaker, who has provided five league assists, prior to the 1-1 draw at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in Serie A on Sunday.

“You can only be pleased to hear an executive of the importance and experience of Galliani talking about you in such positive terms,” the 28-year-old told Il Tirreno.

“I cannot deny it is very satisfying, but unfortunately it does not give Empoli more points in the league standings.

“Since what really matters is our league position and building towards securing safety, I am only thinking about that and how to improve every week. Even when we are playing against Milan.”
