Championship eve for Empoli, expected tomorrow from the away match against Milan. The Tuscans’ coach, Roberto D’Aversain the press conference he also focused among other things on how the team is doing: “Zurkowski is not among the squad, as is De Sciglio. The three who returned the other day worked and improved their physical condition. The For example, we have accelerated the return of Anjorin. There are also Primavera players in the squad as well as those who train with us regularly playing time has improved, but they are not yet available for ninety minutes, so I reserve the right to decide at the last minute.”
Tomorrow the match will probably take place on its own, but this Empoli will try.
“We must try to leave San Siro with a positive result, the team must be determined and concentrated. And above all we must be proactive and have personality when we have the ball. If we do everything 100% it may not be enough, but we shouldn’t complain about anything against such a strong team. Milan are stronger than us on paper, but the beauty of football is that when you go on the pitch you also compete against better opponents.”
What moment is this for you?
“This is the time to grit our teeth. As you know, I don’t like to create alibis, but numerically there aren’t many of us. Having said this, we must unite, without wasting unnecessary energy. We must not be carried away by external factors, but understand the moments of the match because in matches against opponents like this you cannot think of pressing all over the pitch for ninety-five minutes. I go back to what I said before, ball possession must be improved, there must be a predisposition to do it despite what Milan can do the match which they are not used to doing, if we give them the ball all the time we risk getting hurt.”
