AC Milan face Lecce tonight in what will be a very crucial fixture indeed. The Rossoneri want to redeem themselves. Stefano Pioli, who made the team spend the night at Milanello after their loss against Torino, is sure that his team is prepared and determined to face Lecce this evening, as he said in the press conference yesterday.
According to what has been reported by Tuttosport in this morning's print edition, Olivier Giroud will have a special challenge tonight: he wants to return to his scoring form and he will face AC Milan's loanee who has become quite the starlet for Lecce: Lorenzo Colombo. An experienced striker who wants to drag his teammates to victory versus a young and ambitious one who wants to display his qualities to his parent club.
The second can be the future. Maldini respects him a lot and Pioli praised him yesterday during the press conference (read here).
In the summer transfer window, Lorenzo Colombo could be a real option for the Rossoneri as Lecce have a buy-option while AC Milan have a buy-back clause at 500 thousand euros. In other Milan news, these two talents have also been linked with the red and black club in view of the summer transfer window session.
