Juventus head coach Andrea Pirlo has spoken in the press conference today ahead of the game opposing his side to AC Milan. Here are his statements:
On tomorrow's match:
"It will be an open match, we are two teams who like to press and attack, both teams want to impose the game and I think it will be a great match".
On the choices in defense:
"Fortunately we have all the players available. Tomorrow I will have a wide choice, we have all the central players because Demiral is also back and we have two players in warning and therefore this too can affect the choices".
Rabiot tomorrow as a starter:
"Yes, he will start from the beginning, I gave him a day of rest because I saw him a little tired. He gave the example and entered with the right determination, this must be the attitude".
On the possibility of coaching Donnarumma:
"It's not my problem, he's a Milan player and it's their problem. I consider him one of the best five goalkeepers in the world, he is an exemplary professional and compliments must be given for what he is doing".
On the first leg:
"We saw and reviewed the first leg match which was a good match. We had several absences, as did them: we were without Alex, Cuadrado, De Ligt and we had done everything at the last moment since it had happened the day before. The motivation was the right one, in the league we played some games with the right attitude. I'm sure that tomorrow we will face the game well, the week was spent with enthusiasm and concentration. I see the guys on track and this makes me feel serene".
Wrong to call Szczesny a problem:
"Yes, I think it's wrong to call him a problem. If there are rumors about other goalkeepers it seems that ours is in trouble, it's not like that to others. He is serene and concentrated and we are happy with what he is giving us".
The Ibra-Ronaldo confrontation? Is it a problem for Italian football that two aging players are essential?:
"I don't think it's a problem: they still turn out to be the best, Ronaldo is the top scorer and Ibra is scoring a lot of goals and giving a great contribution to the team. They are not a problem for the teams they play for, they are an added value.
Will Morata play?
"Morata is fine and is available to play tomorrow."
Will Szczesny be starting tomorrow?
"Yes, he will play from the first minute".
