“At the end of the draw we had a 50% chance of finding Bayer Leverkusen, it went well, but we must not underestimate Slavia, in the international field we must not underestimate anyone to go far, we must prepare as best we can.” Thus, on Sky Sport, the honorary vice-president of Milan, Franco Baresi, on the Europa League draw which paired the Prague team with the Rossoneri.
“Milan must always be ambitious, we must do our best – Baresi continues – and if we are well we can compete with all the contenders. We must believe in ourselves and we have the qualities to aspire to important goals.
The team needs to grow in general, we play offensively and create a lot, but on the international stage we need to be more compact and united. Hoping that all the defenders will return soon, in order to give the coach more choice.”
meanwhile Milan have conceded seven goals in their last two matches, against Monza and Rennes. “When you concede a lot of goals, everyone has to do better – comments the former Rossoneri captain -, it takes more attention and from everyone, the defensive phase requires a spirit of sacrifice, cohesion and collaboration. If we manage to do this we are halfway through of the work, given that we have the players to be able to hurt our opponents in attack.”
