Even with this and Atletico’s strong form this season to take into account, Seedorf is in a buoyant mood ahead of the midweek meeting.
“The team comes into this challenge well, against an opponent that is very well,” began the 37-year-old in his pre-Press conference chat with Milan Channel.
“There are further motivations, it is the Champions League, they are strong, in addition to it being a special evening at San Siro. But there will be so many opportunities in front of us to collect something.
“Atletico have to be respected greatly, they are a strong team, but they also have their weaknesses, which we will try to exploit. We will try to give our best, looking for the best result.
“The quality and the understanding will increase over time. The attitude has been the right one, except in the evening with Napoli [a 3-1 defeat].
“We must try to continue on our way, improving in all aspects. With great humility, the boys are trying to improve.”
