“We are eager to get back on the pitch and prove ourselves,” the Coach told Milan TV after a 3-0 hammering by Genoa.
That result followed a victory over Juventus, so was somewhat unexpected.
“Expectations have been raised and that is something to be proud of. Perhaps there was more tension when we were preparing for the Sampdoria game with two defeats behind us.
“I knew Genoa was going to be difficult, but did not expect to lose, especially like that.”
Pescara are still looking for their first win of the season, as the 3-0 victory with Sassuolo was handed to them by the fielding of an irregular player.
“Frankly I have seen many Pescara games, they play excellent football and are very good at playing between the lines. It’s a team that must be faced with the right level of concentration. It’s a delicate match.
“It would be a mistake for us to go into this game already thinking of the next test. We must take it one game at a time and focus entirely on Pescara.
“I think Milan’s strength this season has been in the players who came off the bench, as they always gave us something extra. Gianluca Lapadula is one of them. The strength of a team is valued on these issues.
“I hope Gabriel Paletta won’t be too sorely missed during his ban. Giancarlo Gomez is adapting to our style of football and understanding the movements that are completely different from in South America.”
