“They haven’t really altered their style of play in these early games; they’ll aim to put us in challenging situations. In order to perform better than them, we shall enter the field. We’ll get some cues from the performance about what we need to improve—some excellent, some perhaps less so.
Kjaer is powerful and has a wonderful demeanor, so he is prepared to participate in such a crucial game. Although there is only one Zlatan, the team has developed a certain manner of functioning, and Giroud is one of the guys with a tremendous personality in the locker room.

I want to see the AC Milan, I want to see the team follow our principles of play and what we have prepared, I’m sure that they’ll face the match with the right spirit, with enthusiasm and with heart.
