Months of speculation would suggest it will be his final match on the Rossoneri bench.
“I generally don’t use a mask to hide my feelings. I am transparent,” said the Dutchman.
“I do have sentiments and when I read or hear certain things, they do leave me bitter. However, I am reassured by my rapport with the squad, because if it had been a divided group then we would not have achieved these good results on the field.
“Against Juventus I saw the right direction for my philosophy and ideas. We had character, pace, solidity, but then lacked the final result. I saw good things in several games, but I am growing in my work the same way my players are and we’re getting to know each other too.”
Milan have a very slim chance of qualifying for the Europa League after fumbling a lead to lose 2-1 at Atalanta last weekend.
“We had started well and then lost control of the game,” continued Seedorf. “After the break we adjusted a few things and took the lead, then the penalty arrived.
“We felt that we could have scored a second, but instead at the end this great goal from Atalanta came out of nowhere. A draw would’ve been the more just result.”
The clash with Sassuolo could make history tomorrow evening, as 15-year-old Mastour is brought in from the youth team and many expect him to make his Serie A debut.
“Mastour is truly very young. Clearly he has talent and Milan want to bring him forward with a specific project.
“Adriano Galliani dealt with the details of his contract to secure the lad’s future. We are trying to get him accustomed to a superior level with regards to training methods and his teammates will help his process.”
