"When there are poor results it is normal that the ghosts of the past return," He continued in his interview with Sky Sport Italia. "But the Coach did well to isolate ourselves from everything and everyone. We are very focused on our work and the results are there for all to see, although there is a lot of room for improvement."
"We will not be nervous because expectations are not high when you face one of the strongest teams in Europe. Playing in front of a full San Siro will be beautiful."
"Against Juventus we do not win very often, the defeat in the Coppa Italia still hurts because we deserved more. We will face the strongest and will see how far we have come. We will start as underdogs, let’s see what can happen in 90 minutes.
