After the first victory in the championship against Como, Sergio Conceicao will face his first big match in the championship today. The opponent is a well-known one, Juventus, already faced and beaten in a comeback two weeks ago in Riyadh in the Italian Super Cup. Of course, here the competition is different and we don’t play for a trophy: we play for it a lot, however, because the two teams are struggling and need to push themselves forward.
The words of Conceicao
Sergio Conceicao is trying to put things right, but time is short and the matches are decisive: “We have to – explained the coach – face a team that played a good match against Atalanta, we have to do with what we have available in terms of time we are working on small things which for me are big things. We have many matches, important matches. We must be ready until the beginning of February right attitude to reach our goals.”
Milan’s probable lineup
Considering the absences of Morata, Thiaw, Pulisic, Loftus-Cheek, Chukwueze and Okafor, Conceicao will be forced to propose the 4-2-3-1 with the Madrid variation: Jimenez will not play on the right, but Musah, together with Reijnders and Leao behind Abraham. In midfield, in addition to Fofana, there is still room for Bennacer. In defense, Gabbia will find himself as a starter, accompanied by Royal, Tomori and Theo.
