The presentation of the Milan-Turin match, scheduled for tomorrow at 20.45 at San Siro: here are Juric’s words
Ivan Juric presents Milan-Turin on the eve of the Meazza match: “In recent days we have worked on the details, seeing where we can improve and where we need to pay the most attention. Tuesday’s workout? I’m happy with the response from the fans, it was a working day and there were still a lot of people. However, there will be other days with open-door training sessions”.
About Ilic
“Ilic? His condition is far from ideal. He’s coming with us tomorrow but he won’t play from the start because he’s not physically well, he can’t keep up a good training rhythm. The injury has passed but he needs two or three weeks of work to get right ”.
On the problems in midfield
“When you lose two players like Ricci and Lukic, who is gone, and Ilic is not ready, it is clear that you are in trouble in midfield. Samuele has reached a very high level, also in terms of knowledge. We have to invent something for tomorrow, we’re thinking about it”.
On Karamoh
“I’m very happy with what Karamoh has given me, he’s one of those who never gave up even though I didn’t give him many chances. The last two games, however, he has done well, he is a player who deserves what he is experiencing now ”.
At the time of Milan
“I’m sorry that we can’t face Milan in top condition, when these teams are in difficulty they are even more dangerous. Football is strange: Milan were having a great game against Roma, they won 2-0, then they conceded two goals from set pieces and from there the crisis began. But he fears everything about Milan because it’s a great team.”
About Sanabria
“We know Sanabria well, we know what he can give us, he’s the only striker we have right now and he’ll play tomorrow. Sure, in some situations you need a striker with different characteristics but Tonny will play tomorrow. Then we know where he can improve and what he has to do to improve.”
On Linetty
“Linetty has had a very positive period, lately a little less. I see that he does well but not as well as before. I liked it a lot the other day too. Adopo, you are giving me a lot of satisfaction. Vieira has similar characteristics, they have met, maybe right now Adopo knows certain dynamics better but I still have to think about it”.
On contract renewal
“I thank the president who offered me the renewal of the contract, it’s always a source of pride when your boss wants to renew your contract. But now my goal is to do my best and get the best out of this team, I’m focused on this. Then after you see, you have to be completely happy. Now I want to do well in these months and then we’ll see…”.
On the deployment of Milan
“Pioli said he will play again with a three-man defence, I think it will be a match similar to the Coppa Italia one. When you face a three-man defending team like us, it becomes a game of many one-on-ones, an intense match with little time to lose.”
On midfield
“Deploy a more technical player in midfield like an attacking midfielder? Miranchuk no, maybe there will be some surprises. Schuurs could play as a playmaker but that won’t be an option tomorrow.”
