“Milan have very strong players who can take men on, so we must be sure not to allow them these chances,” said the Coach in his Press conference.
“The quality of their forwards is beyond doubt, as they are all internationals. It’s a tough test for the team and we need a perfect Palermo. We know the slightest slip-up can cost us dearly.
“Barreto and Belotti have a few bruises, so we’ll see how they are in training. The tactics will also depend on these fitness situations. Maresca is fully recovered and can be an option.”
There was tension in the Rosanero camp when Franco Vazquez threw his short to the ground in anger after a substitution against Chievo.
“If I were Vazquez, I’d have thrown a bomb at Iachini’s feet,” said President Zamparini in response.
The Coach took the comment as a “joke to lift the tension. He acted like Mourinho, who often makes statements to take attention away from the team.
“The truth is that straight after the game Vazquez came into the locker room very upset and apologetic for what happened.”
