Champions, Milan-Tottenham in the second round. Baresi: “Count? He knows us and is attentive to everything”

The Rossoneri honorary vice president: “We have to think big and be ambitious. The round of 16 was a goal, not a goal. This team surprises me with how they are playing “

In Nyon the Rossoneri “blessing” comes directly from those who have raised that cup in their career – and with that shirt – three times. Franco Baresi, a few minutes after the draw that sees the Devil opposing Conte’s Tottenham, obviously goes cautious, but at the same time he plays the charge. “It won’t be easy, they are a physical team but we have to think we can create problems for them, we have to think big and be ambitious. We can have two great races. Now we are fine, we are ripe to play these games, the experience of last year helped us a lot, we are convinced that we can play it. Milan must always think big, to improve. Getting through the group stage was not a goal, but a goal. The team is mature to do well ”.

Level

Obviously there is the Count factor to consider, which often shifts the balance. “We are talking about a coach who is attentive to everything and who knows our football, but Milan can also be up to this round. It is a team that has already risen in general, in all departments, we are doing incredible performances, it surprises me how we are playing. The players are involved, the midfield is very strong, the defense is not afraid and we always manage to create chances up front. An incredible enthusiasm has been recreated, San Siro will be of great help and we will be ready. The others in the urn were also attentive to us, and respect us ”. And on the singles: “De Ketelaere has shown an extraordinary talent, we will be able to see him express himself at his best. Tomori and Kalulu are a really important defensive couple ”.
