Milan-Empoli, Zanetti: “Their top level team. Goal of salvation…”

The declarations of Paolo Zanetti, coach of Empoli

Fresh from the important victory against the LecceL’Empoli will face the Milan to “San Siro” on the twenty-ninth day of A league. Fourteenth place in the standings for the Azzurri, who maintain a margin of eleven points over Verona third from last, thus moving towards a peaceful salvation. On the eve of the match against the Rossoneri, the Empoli coach Paolo Zanetti spoke at the press conference. Here are his statements:

“TOFacing Milan presents the same pitfalls as always, beyond the fact that he comes from an extraordinary match against Napoli. Meeting the big teams is always difficult for us. It is superfluous to list the weapons that this team has, which is of the highest Italian but also European level. The most important thing will be to give continuity to what we have to do. We come from an equally important game, the game we had to win and we succeeded. Now we have the goal of maintaining the great attention we found in the last game beyond the opponent. Milan have such a large and level squad that whether they make changes or not, it will change little for us. I don’t think there is an advantage that Milan can play during the week. These big teams are used to playing many games, mentally all games and all competitions are important to them. Beyond the turnover or what others will do, who we are will depend a lot. Did Empoli finish on 41 points last year? We have no goal that can be compared with the past. The goal is to save oneself as soon as possible, if possible and score as many points as possible this year to try and consolidate a career path that began in July with a three-quarters renewed team. We have to look at what interests us: the future is of little interest to us“
