Schedule and results

From here to the World Championship we will play many races in a few days,” I hope to be able to face them with as many players as possible. Tomorrow I will have several options, I’m happy: Milan are unpredictable and, to hold up the comparison, we need freshness from a physical point of view £.

I will have to be good at not concentrating to make the best of the match. My wife will also be at the stadium, I think she will cry… – commented the Brazilian defender -. We spent some time in Italy. wonderful years, but I think my career at Milan is over. I doubt I’ll come back here, at least not as a footballer… “.

There is a good relationship with Potter, soon I would like to talk to the club about the contract renewal”.
Watch out for the Rossoneri

The 3-0 in the first leg was not enough to reassure the Brazilian: “Pioli has many strong players, who are unlikely to miss two games in a row. Milan did well against Juventus and will be able to count on the support of their fans. Great attention will be needed. , not only Leao: Giroud is a dangerous striker, Theo is one of the best side in the world. Tomori? We spent a few months together in London, now he has grown a lot. Italian football, as I always say, is ideal for a defender who wants to improve “.
