Fabio Cannavaro launches his challenge to AC Milan

Mercoledì Dinamo Zagreb-Milan

Fabio Cannavaro is betting not only on the field factor but also on the desire of his Dinamo Zagreb, which in the last day of the Champions League Phase will face AC Milan with the ambition of toppling the Rossoneri to try to qualify for the playoffs of the top European competition. The 2006 world champion, at the helm of Dynamo since last Dec. 29, has clear ideas in this regard.

"Against Milan will be a complicated match,” he admitted to the microphones of 'Sky Sport', “but we know that we will give our best. I am confident, we can get a great result in front of our fans". Dinamo Zagreb, after seven matches, has collected 8 points and is '-2 from the playoff zone. Cannavaro’s 'first' in Champions è was negative: in fact, Arsenal beat the Croatians 3-0 last Wednesday.

Confidence però is not lacking and, data in hand, the one against the Gunners è so far the Dinamo's only defeat since Cannavaro took the reins of the team: "I was eager to coach and Dinamo Zagreb è an important club, with great tradition – said Cannavaro -. I am happy to be here.

AC Milan comes from two narrow successes, one against Girona in the Champions League and another against Parma in the league, with the comeback in the dying minutes signed by Reijnders and Chukwueze: "AC Milan has players who can hurt you at any time,” said the Dinamo coach. They also have a great coach, Conceiçao, someone who conveys a desire to win".
