Some thoughts from AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri, ahead of tomorrow's champions league clash between Milan and Barcelona.
“I am sure that they will have more of the ball, but tactically we’ll be looking to do the same we did last year."
"That means being aggressive and closing spaces … We can take a daring approach because this is not a direct knockout match.”
“They have different attacking solutions, for in addition to Messi, Xavi and Iniesta they now have Neymar, a player who gets forward a lot”.
“It will be similar game to last year. I think we need to close the space between our lines. They have a lot of quality in their side, but if we are as careful as we were last year, we’ll be successful”.
