**Club Statement: **

Stefano Pioli will held the press conference before the match.

…COURAGE

When we talk about a team like Milan it's not easy to identify the flaws, but this is our job and we do it. It will take a volcanic Empoli from the point of view of energy and organisation. We trained, the important thing it's doing everything with maximum concentration but also enthusiasm.

…PREPARATION

Our attention to work never changes, if anything the strategies change. We have a very specific way of working, our preparation attitudes change because all the opponents are different.

…MILAN

From a quality point of view, we have already put aside the previous performance. For me it was one of our best, but we need to improve in some phases of the match. We need to be practical and particularly determined, and understand when an action is becoming potentially dangerous. The desire to compete with a high-quality team, used to playing every three days, is an absolute growth opportunity for us.
