Milan boss Vincenzo Montella refuses to go along with those who hate rivals Juventus.
His side take on the Bianconeri in the SuperCoppa Italiana on Friday in Doha. The Coach sees no reason why Milan can't win, having already done so in the league this season.
"I think it was in 1996, with Sampdoria, that there was outrage," Montella told Tuttosport.
"I was in the streets where the rivalry is strongest, like it is in Rome and Florence, but I never joined in with those who hate Juve.

"I think it was in 1996, with Sampdoria, that there was outrage," Montella told Tuttosport.
"I was in the streets where the rivalry is strongest, like it is in Rome and Florence, but I never joined in with those who hate Juve.
"Hate is a strong word, they win more than others do, so it is logical that everyone wants to beat them.
"I am sure that [Gianluigi] Buffon has been misinterpreted, the fact remains that there is an extra motivation when you come up against them.
"Winning would be a good story for the team, for Berlusconi, and for me, for this group. "
"Can we beat them? Well, we have already done…
"But they have been built to win the Champions League. Since the second half of the competition is much, much more competitive than our league, it is clear that they are destined to rule.
"It will be different from when we defeated Juventus in the league, but I will not give any advantages, I won’t tell you whether and how I will change my Milan.
"They are organised to deal with many kinds of absence. Allegri has a complete team that can play in so many ways."
