Milan, who look to finish their season in fifth place in Serie A in order to obtain direct qualification to the Europa League, play Sampdoria on Wednesday evening. Currently Roma sits four points ahead, needing only a win against Torino. The rossoneri coach Stefano Pioli previewed the match, one that Milan will look to win: "The matches need to be played. We are facing a team who plays calm and is in good physical shape, like us. Ranieri has done great work. We will make specific judgements on our season next Monday."
Ibrahimovic? He has given us another option, especially from a technical standpoint. He operates between the lines, creating space for the forwards. Then there is his personality and character: he has given us a decisive push. Europa League? If we take part in the preliminary rounds it will be a month full of fixtures. We have trained to play a lot, we will feel prepared if we must take part. Future of Ibra, Romagnoli and Calhanoglu? The club wants to clarify things as soon as possible. Next week will be decisive."
