Ahead of today's game opposing his club Stella Rossa to AC Milan in the first leg of Europa League's round of 32, the Italian winger Diego Falcinelli has spoken about the match in an interview given to Tuttomercatoweb.com
On the game:
“It will be tough, tight, like all games in Europe. Each game has its own story. But if they think they are coming for a walk they will quickly realize that they are wrong. Milan is made up of champions. But the group counts more”.
On the timing of the game:
“The match comes at the perfect moment for us. The Rossoneri come from a defeat, they have the derby, then again us and Roma. Let's hope they make someone catch their breath".
On Zlatan:
“I hope he doesn't play. He is exceptional, complete, one of the best strikers in football history”.
On who's better between Ibra and Lukaku?
“They are both very strong. When Lukaku is in shape he is impressive. It's a fight between two champions. I will watch the derby on Sunday. But first we have an important game"
On his club's objectives:
“We want to win the league and the cup. We passed the Europa League group, a goal that nobody asked of us apart from the coach. Winning the double would be important. The team is well built, the strongest in the last decade. With the arrival of Pippo (Falco) quality is added. We will try to bring home what we can”.
On club's head coach Stankovic:
“He always puts pressure on us, every day. Each game is a final. The next game always counts for him”.
On playing against Milan:
“It looks great, really. I made the Europa League with Sassuolo but not as a protagonist like now. I'm happy to be able to return to San Siro, they will be two exciting challenges. Too bad for the absence of the fans, playing with the stadium full would have been fantastic."
