Vincenzo Montella requested strength and character from his team after Milan's loss to Empoli. Montella hopes to not waste everything Milan has accomplished this season in the closing stages of Serie A as Europa League qualification still remains a strong possibility.
Mattia De Sciglio was heavily booed when substituted against Empoli. The fullback recently met with Mirabelli in order to clarify his future intentions. The result of the encounter evidenced the probable departure of De Sciglio from Milan at the end of the season. Juventus has already shown interest in the player and is prepared to initiate contacts with De Sciglio's entourage.
