Milan-Feyenoord: only one doubt in attack for Sergio Conceiçao

After their narrow success with Hellas Verona in Serie A, AC Milan è await the crucial Champions League playoff return match against Feyenoord. The Rossoneri and Sergio Conceiçao will be called upon to overturn the 1-0 defeat accrued in Rotterdam, so as to continue the European journey and gain further confidence ahead of the final third of the championship.

With just a few hours to kickoff, there would be only one doubt for the Portuguese coach, namely whether to launch immediately from 1' the offensive quartet composed of Leao, Gimenez, Joao Felix and Pulisic or opt for a more balanced tactical scheme.

The feeling è that the former Porto coach should prefer the second option, with Musah expected to take the place of his compatriot, so as to give Fofana and Reijnders a strong hand in the non-possession phase.

No surprises, however, in defense, where Tomori and Pavlovic will act as the central pair in front of Mike Maignan, with Theo Hernandez and Kyle Walker as full-backs.

Reiterating the importance of this match for the continuation of Milan’s season, RedBird’s Senior Advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic spoke in a press conference: "I definitely expect Milan to be more concrete, aggressive and with the right approach. We will have to enter the field with a finals mentality. It's important to play well, but it&#39s even more important to win. We have to get a result to get through. We are down by one goal, so everyone will have to push their teammate to give their best from the beginning to the end".
