A TOUGH MONTH FOR THE ROSSONERE

The Rossonere are heading into a real tough month. The next few weeks will be vital for Coach Ganz's team. We get back underway on Saturday 27 February against Pink Bari before a massive clash with unbeaten league leaders Juventus on 5 March.

Then, we have a double Derby date. First up, on 14 March, we have the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final. The second, meanwhile, is on Serie A matchday 17 on 28 March. In between those two games, AC Milan take on Empoli at Vismara on 21 March. Five big games, only one at home. It's a tough run that will start straight after the international break and will require the usual effort.

The Rossonere are in the running in two competitions; the first is the league, in which they are hoping to stop the Bianconere's impressive run of form. Juve are favourites; there are unbeaten in Serie A this season but, at the same time, are only three points ahead of AC Milan. This lead arose from the win at San Siro on 5 October, which was decided from the penalty spot. Belief is paramount.

Then, there's the Coppa Italia. We have the two-legged semi-final against Inter and then the eventual final against either Roma or Juventus. March is also not the only tough month; in May, AC Milan take on Roma, Fiorentina and Sassuolo in quick succession. The road towards success is yet steep, but this is the time to have courage and give it a go until the end.
