Andrea Poli has enthused at Milan’s start and lists their determination to continue to improve, and to take a result against Juventus in Week 3.

The Rossoneri host the Bianconeri this coming Saturday evening with the teams sharing top spot in Serie A after taking maximum points from the opening two rounds.

In preparing to welcome former Milan Coach Max Allegri back to San Siro too, Poli has reflected that the challenge against the Old Lady remains as big as it was in previous seasons.

“Allegri has not changed a lot the ways in which Juventus played under Conte,” the 24-year-old has told reporters at an event this week.

“I never like to make predictions. Every game is a game by itself. They are a great team and the match could be decided by a single episode.

“The concentration will be at its highest and we will have our fans behind us, who will provide us with a great charge.

“We must draw strength from the fans’ enthusiasm, knowing that we have done some good thing but that we have to improve, already ahead of the game with Juventus, where we hope to do well.

“It will be a meeting at the summit between two teams that have played two great games so far.

“They are very strong, whilst for three years they have won the League title and are the team to beat. We are preparing in the best way to try to beat them.”

Milan head into the Week 3 fixture with maximum points after wins over Lazio and Parma.

“We had hoped to secure six points. We have played two good games, but we continue to be a work in progress with the new Coach, new players and new playing scheme.

“We have ample room for improvement and I hope that we can continue to grow game to game.”

The midfielder was asked about similarities or not between Inzaghi and former Juventus and current Italy boss Antonio Conte.

“In 10 days with the national team, I understood why Juve won three League titles with Conte on the bench.

“There is great attention to detail on both the part of Conte and Inzaghi, and they have a great desire to transmit their style of play on to their teams.

“I hope that Inzaghi can follow in the footsteps of Conte. We are trying to put on to the field his ideas. Inzaghi looks a lot at the detail.

“We have been working together for two-and-a-half months and I think that we can still grow and play games better and better. We can only do so by improving the errors.”

Such errors were prevalent in defence on Sunday, when despite scoring five at Parma, the side conceded four.

“It is said that when a team concedes a goal that it is the fault of the defence, but the whole team makes that error. We need to improve our consistency to avoid conceding goals.”

Even so, every goal that went in the right end was met with very enthusiastic celebrations.

“It is testament to the team spirit that exists between us. This was seen in the celebrations but also in the difficult moments in Parma when we were under pressure.

“The 45 points in deficit to Juventus last season were many, but now there is a different spirit.

“Unfortunately last year was very bad, but now there is a desire for revenge because we are wearing an important jersey.”

Jeremy Menez is speculated as set to keep Fernando Torres on the bench this coming weekend.

“He is doing very well, he has great technical qualities. He has assimilated into the group in the best way and we hope that he continues like this and makes a difference as he did on Sunday.”
