“We made some tactical choices and they were not dictated by fatigue issues,” Pippo Inzaghi’s second in command told Milan Channel.
Fernando Torres and Marco van Ginkel get their first Serie A starts this evening.
“We do not think the team can already be tired this early into the season, so we are ready. We are working hard and not just on the midfield, as we want to see the growth of the team.
“Against Juventus we were well in the game for 70 minutes, don’t forget. We showed character and the ability to suffer under pressure.”
Their 100 per cent record was ended by that 1-0 home defeat to Juve and tonight they visit newly-promoted Empoli.
“They are a difficult side to face and picked up fewer points than they deserved to. They play well and are organised in all areas, so we have to keep our eyes open.”
