“Rino said these things to raise everyone’s concentration level and keep everyone on their toes. The week was calm, he did well to keep the team together and we have an important objective to achieve. Today’s game is crucial,” team manager Abbiati told Mediaset Premium.
“We’ve had so many matches this season and it’s only natural there will be some fatigue. We’ve all got to help each other, including those who come off the bench.
“Bologna are tough to play, they have some very good players. We must be concentrated to the max and deal with the heat this afternoon too.
“When Milan play against the big clubs, both sides tend to be more open and attacking, whereas the smaller clubs try to defend more.
“What we lack is the courage to take men on. Suso and Hakan Calhanoglu can, but they’re not always available and the others need to start doing that too.”
