Quotes
“Not everyone admits like you that they understand little about tactics. The tactical choice is because we want to be aggressive,” Milan manager Stefano Pioli said after his side's win over Monza.
“We accept numerical parity up front and at the back. I have willing and intelligent players, they attack with five men and therefore we defended with five men so as not to let the full-backs run too much. It’s not a five, three, or two defence.
"They are the principles. Today we did it well, parity above and below. If the parity above isn’t intense it doesn’t work, today it worked. If this aspect isn’t here, the defensive mechanisms don’t work.”
Head-To-Head
Salernitana and Milan played out to a 1-1 draw in their last meeting in Serie A with the match taking place at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on 13 March 2023.
Rossoneri have never lost to the Garnets in the league since Salernitana returned to the Italian top-flight in 1998 - winning four games and drawing two.
