Slavia Prague boss Jindrich Trpisovsky is very happy with himself against AC Milan.
Slavia face Milan tonight in the first leg of the Europa League round of 16 at the San Siro stadium.
Trpisovsky said: “We want functionality a bit like the one opposed to Inter. Obviously, there has to be intelligent intellectual and physical preparation, I’m pleased to be here again. I hope and believe it will be a similar match. Milan know how to play very well, Leao is one of the most productive players in the world, we will see how we do it, we will also pay a lot of attention to the midfield, where Bennacer is.
“They have a lot of experience: they will play a bit like Inter from a few years ago, we will have to be very strong in defense. We will put all our strength into it. Milan uses many players and they are all among the best. Milan’s goalkeeper even provides assists : It is something rare, unique. You have to be very attentive to everything
“We played 120 minutes last week and then on Sunday – we replaced some players also because of injuries. Now we’re waiting for the finishing touches to gauge who will be fit, especially among those who have played the last two games. Betting on the 4-3-3: tomorrow we have to see how to fix things in defense, I still have to fine-tune the existing scenario for a while, make a greater defense so that Milan have more difficulties.
“We’ve noticed how Milan play and we have to do it in the lineup right now.
“Obviously we would like to continue as we did in the last few games, in which we only conceded 3 goals. We know we’re probably in for a different kind of game. It’s difficult to prepare against someone like Leao: we “don’t meet players like him”.
He also said, “For me, the game here is the pinnacle of my career. Yo Baresi, Costacurta: at that time, we only saw them on TV and rarely. Playing against Milan is a birthday party for us, as opposed to a “A team like this, with this tradition, with this stadium. I hope to do more than I did against Roma. “
