After Simeone, here is Mihajlovic. There is still a former Inter player on the road to Milan, who this afternoon (15 pm) will be involved in the insidious away game in Genoa, precisely against Sinisa's Sampdoria. An important test for the Rossoneri, looking for confirmation after the good performance in the Champions League, albeit ended in defeat. “For now it's a partial result – specified Seedorf at the press conference. – In any case, the match we played helped us prepare better for the next one, when we will meet a team that is doing well like Sampdoria. I'm happy with what Mihajlovic is doing (the two played together for the blucerchiato in 1995/96, ed), in general I'm grateful for that year spent in Genoa”. But now Sinisa is an "enemy" and will have to be countered with the right weapons. “He's got a brave and organized team – thought the Dutchman. – It can create difficulties with the maneuver and the insertions, the right attention will be needed ". The one missed on Atletico Madrid's goal, which ruined an almost perfect match up until then. “That's not true, it was a fairly random goal – Seedorf defended himself. – There was a rebound and we weren't lucky, but they too could have conceded goals in the first half”. In any case, there will be time to think about the Champions League, now it's time to focus on the championship, perhaps taking advantage of the improvements shown in Europe. That's why the step backwards in terms of formation is a bit surprising: Seedorf will in fact give up Poli again to return to play with a rather offensive trio of attacking midfielders.
“It's not a question of extra midfielders, but of attitude – explained the Dutchman. – That's what made the difference on Wednesday and that's what we must continue to have. Only in this way will we make a leap forward in terms of team spirit, this is our goal". Yes, but certainly a little more balance has not hurt. This afternoon however we will return to the pure 4-2-3-1, with Honda, Kakà (or Saponara) and Taarabt behind the lone striker Pazzini, who will replace the injured Balotelli. Speaking of Supermario, Seedorf didn't like the classification of France Football at all, which placed him in the top ten bad boys of football. “I'm sorry that such an important newspaper deals with these issues – the technician snapped. – Balotelli is a sweet, positive and likeable boy. I still haven't figured out where his wickedness is." What matters most, however, is that Mario will not be on the pitch today, just like Abbiati (flu) and De Sciglio. In their place will play Amelia and Abate, who will thus make up the defensive line together with Bonera, Rami and Constant. In midfield Montolivo will be back in the starting lineup, while for the other shirt it's a run-off between Muntari and De Jong, with the Ghanaian favorite.
