AC Milan are currently preparing to take on Juventus this weekend, and Weston McKennie has expressed some confidence about the fixture.
Milan-Juventus is one of Italy’s big fixtures, but this season, it won’t hold the same weight. Typically this has been a game to decide titles, but with the Rossoneri praying for a Champions League spot, and the Bianconeri fighting for one, there is not much weight on the table.

Instead, the weight is on pride. After a 0-0 draw at San Siro earlier this season, things had to improve for the Diavolo, and since then, it has been very up and down, but the ups have not been substantial.
That is until Sergio Conceicao arrived. Within his first week, Milan were crowned champions, winning the Supercoppa Italiana after victories against the Old Lady and Inter. Now, Juventus have their eyes on revenge.
Today, McKennie spoke about the upcoming game and referred to their issues in the Supercoppa when speaking to Tuttosport, via Milan News.
“We want to win, to extend the lead over Milan and move up the table. We all have to give more because Juve have to win and stay on top. We have to keep our concentration to not make mistakes and also to score the second goal after scoring the first.”
Last time that Milan did not concede the goal was 5 games ago, with Verona and before that Genoa. Its hight time for this team to start playing without mistakes in defence and fully concentrate the play.
Como goal arrived after defender did not press the player. Against juventus mistake of Theo plus defence. Inter lack of concentration and again mistakes, and then Roma, and Cagliari, its all mistakes.
That’s the difference between full professional players and kind of amateur mistakes that Milan players do.
They must level up in order to catch 4th position.
If they managed to start play without big mistakes, even Juventus will not be able to match our play in continuation of season.
This coincides with Gabbia being dropped for Tomori…
Lol yes Juve will be allowed to score goals at will you idiot.
Seems like that’s how Milan win these days: Concede then make a comeback.
