Milan is ready to return to the field. This evening Paulo Fonseca’s team, kick-off at 6.45pm, will face Slovan Bratislava to try to sweep away the boos that came from the San Siro crowd after the 0-0 home draw against Juventus. An affordable match with the Rossoneri who can take advantage of the wave of the 3-1 success at the “Bernabeu” to try to bring home the entire stakes and aim for qualification for the Champions League round of 16 without going through the playoffs.
Four games within reach
In fact, today’s game will open a cycle of matches that are within the reach of Leao and his teammates. In addition to tonight’s match against Slovan, there will be the home match against Red Star Belgrade on 11 December, the one against Girona on 22 January and finally the away match in Zagreb against Dinamo on 29 January. Four matches that won’t go wrong if you want to aim for the big goal, that of entering the top 8.
20 million reasons
In addition to the extra rest period, Milan would also benefit from an economic point of view from this direct leap into the round of 16. As reported in today’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sportthe direct leap without going through the play-offs would bring around 20 million more euros into the Rossoneri’s coffers as well as obviously recharging an environment that is currently disappointed.
