Following the loss to Lazio, Milan are now getting ready to face Juventus before the international break. Manager Stefano Pioli is ready for the challenge:"The signature matches bring great opportunity. We play against certainly the best team in Italy and Europe but we must play with our heads held high. The standings say we are far behind Juventus, but the games start 0-0 and you play eleven versus eleven. Tomorrow won't be easy, we must play at a higher level than we showed in recent matches. With quality and technique we can put on a good display"
Pioli was asked about the recent rumors linking the rossoneri to Zlatan Ibrahimovic:"If we start talking about the January window now, we're in trouble. Ibrahimovic is a great player and professional, period"
Pioli left the door open to a possible formation change to a three center back defense:"I believe the training sessions are made for these situations, it's a possibility and we may use it tomorrow. Suso worked well, he had a good week and will certainly be available"
