Sky Sport Italia reveals five things Milan changed ahead of the Champions League semifinal second leg against Inter, including Stefano Pioli’s superstition during a pre-match press conference.
The Rossoneri aim to bounce back after a 2-0 loss in the first leg last week.
Sky Sport Italia’s Milan correspondent Peppe Di Stefano highlights that the Rossoneri have changed five things in their pre-match routine.
Last week, the pre-match retreat was voluntary for all players; this time, it was mandatory. The Rossoneri gathered at the Melia Hotel in Milan’s city centre last week, but they will prepare for the game in Milanello this time.
They will train in the afternoon on Tuesday, while last week the last training session before kick-off was in the morning.
Superstition also wants its part and Sky claims it was probably not casual that Pioli changed his seat in a pre-match press conference on Monday, sitting on the left rather than on the right.
Last night, directors Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara attended the team’s dinner, just like last week, but new club CEO Giorgio Furlani joined them this time.
However, the most important change will be on the pitch, where Rafael Leao is expected to start after missing the first leg last week due to an adductor injury.
