After the two disappointing draws against Cagliari and Atalanta, Milan are determined to collect all three points when they face Empoli tomorrow. The rossoneri’s manager Rino Gattuso introduced the showdown against the Tuscan side in today’s pre match press conference: “These are moments when you have to set anger aside, you need calmness and to talk the least amount possible. It’s true we are leaving some points on the table, but we are playing well and not everything should be dismissed. If we analyze the matches we could have won or lost them all, this makes you understand the situation, we must be more concrete. When we don’t feel at ease is when our worst side comes out. We are lacking confidence, we start doubting ourselves and we start fearing we won’t bring the result home”
Gattuso discussed the status of two key players: “Higuain had a slight physical problem two days ago, he’ll have a test tomorrow. His flexor is bothering him, it’s an old wound, we’ll evaluate him tomorrow. Bonaventura is an important player, if he had a Brazilian last name maybe he’d be worth more. He’s feeling well, he gives us a lot from the quality point of view. He knows how the manage the ball, it’s not a coincidence he scores with continuity”
