The Rossoneri host newly promoted Venezia and Bennacer will take place in the middle of the park with Tonali from the first minute, as coach Stefano Pioli makes a host of changes to the line-up.
“We have prepared as if it was a big game, because it is,” Bennacer told MilanTV. “We have to give everything to try to win.
“You can see that Tonali has improved in everything. When you work, you grow. He works hard and is doing well. He’s playing more and gaining confidence.”
Pioli on the many changes: ‘It’s the best possible formation’
Bennacer revealed he’s getting better too and stressed he needs games ‘to find the rhythm’.
“I’m getting back in shape. Only matches help to find the rhythm,” he added. “That’s why I’m happy to play and I have to play more to be in better shape.”
