Miha: ‘Milan need balance’

Milan Coach Sinisa Mihajlovic says his side needs ‘balance’ and confesses to an injury ‘emergency’.

The Rossoneri face Udinese tomorrow night, but will be without the likes of Juraj Kucka and Andrea Bertolacci.

“We’re in a bit of an emergency,” Mihajlovic admitted in an interview with Milan Channel.

“Tomorrow we won’t even have Kucka. I’m still optimistic though, 11 players will play, and we’ll make changes. Let’s see who will play tomorrow.

“Tomorrow we won’t even have Kucka. I’m still optimistic though, 11 players will play, and we’ll make changes. Let’s see who will play tomorrow.

“I still have some doubts, I’ll decide tomorrow.

“Kucka? I congratulated him after the game [against Palermo on Saturday]. At the break he wasn’t sure if he’d be able to go back out, but I told him that if we took him off we wouldn’t have won the game and he decided to stay on the pitch.”

The Serbian tactician also had words of praise for tomorrow’s opponents, despite a start to the season which has seen them take just three points from their opening four games.

“I have great respect for them. They’re a team in crisis, but they have players who can change the game at any moment.

“They have quality players like [Duvan] Zapata, [Cyril] Thereau and [Antonio] Di Natale. They have a hardworking midfield. It won’t be easy.

“We have to try and play our game as Milan. We have to try not to concede a goal. It’s right to be attacking, but we can’t sacrifice balance.”
