"There will be no easy matches in this group, the opponents are all competitive. We want to write our history in the Champions League, tomorrow is a great opportunity for us. Great respect for Liverpool, but also great conviction that we can do well": this is the charge of Stefano Pioli on the eve of AC Milan's return to the Champions League against Liverpool. And it will also be the debut in the tournament for the Rossoneri coach who feels no pressure: "We prepare the match in the best possible way. I am a fan of English football, I know Liverpool well and we know what we have to do. We arrived in the Champions League thanks to our ideas and to our energies, we must maintain our qualities. "
Ibra has inflammation, it is useless to risk
- "Ibrahimovic? He would have been on the starting field. After four months an inflammation can happen, he was fine. Maybe even the San Siro field bothered him. We hoped he could recover but it is useless to take risks": says Milan coach Stefano Pioli on the eve of the match against Liverpool debut in the Champions League. "We have many games. I am thinking of AC Milan with Zlatan, these sudden defections are part of the game. We are covered. I am especially sorry for him but we will see him again soon", explains the coach.
