Milan's Keisuke Honda believes there are 'many ways to beat Juventus', though it will be 'very difficult'.
It kicks off tomorrow evening at 19:45, and most of the Rossoneri environment is wondering how exactly the leaders of Serie A can be defeated.
“For every problem there are many solutions, but choosing the best one will be complicated,” Honda told La Gazzetta dello Sport. “Now we need to find the key that will let us take a leap forwards.
Milan's Keisuke Honda believes there are 'many ways to beat Juventus', though it will be 'very difficult'.
It kicks off tomorrow evening at 19:45, and most of the Rossoneri environment is wondering how exactly the leaders of Serie A can be defeated.
“For every problem there are many solutions, but choosing the best one will be complicated,” Honda told La Gazzetta dello Sport. “Now we need to find the key that will let us take a leap forwards.
“We'd have preferred going home than the ritiro. But here we can spend a lot of time together and I hope the effects will be visible against Juve.”
Milan notoriously perform better when placed against bigger teams than against the small ones.
“We have greater trouble against teams that close up shop and leave the initiative to you. Perhaps we prepare the game better on a mental level when we're up against big teams.
“All of the players want to play the Champions League and win trophies. But you've got to be realistic. It isn't easy to be satisfied with minimal objectives, but right now we must make as many points as possible.
“Everything is possible, even beating Juve. Though it's certainly very difficult. To make it happen, we must believe in ourselves.
“Juve are stronger than we are, but Milan played well against Napoli, Roma and Inter.
“Juve's strongest quality is their defence. They are the classical Italian team. I prefer the way that Napoli plays, that's my style.
“I have many favourite players at Juventus. But football is played with eleven men: it's the team that wins, not the individual.
“Juve are strong and we know that. They're the number one in Italy. But we want to beat them by playing well.
“We'll have to be compact and shut down spaces, trying to reach the halfway point on a 0-0. After that, who knows.
“Football's beauty is that unexpected things happen all the time.
“There are many ways to win, we must be able to adapt to the game as it develops.”
Honda was also asked about the controversy surrounding Napoli's Gonzalo Higuain, but he feigned ignorance.
"I didn't know he was banned, what for?"
