AMORIM: "IT'LL BE A DIFFICULT MATCH"

Following this morning's final training session at Milanello powered by Clivet, the Rossoneri have arrived in Austria ahead of Matchday 2 of the Europa League. Coach Rúben Amorim and Strahinja Pavlović, who faces his former club, featured in a press conference held at the Red Bull Arena ahead of Salzburg vs. AC Milan, live on the AC Milan Official App.

RÚBEN AMORIM

SALZBURG
"Salzburg plays at a high tempo and has plenty of quality, with some technically gifted players. It’s a team that's used to winning, and it shows. It will be a difficult match. But when I look at our team, I see that we're improving and creating more and more chances. Tomorrow, we'll field players who have already had game time this season, but we'll also rotate the squad. Pavlović will play. Camarda is doing very well and can certainly give us another option tomorrow."

BALANCING TALENT AND TACTICAL DISCIPLINE
"You can have great players in a squad without having a team. At the same time, if you want to do something new or different, you need good players to make that possible. There are many ways to win in football. For me, the important thing is to enjoy ourselves and play good football."

STRAHINJA PAVLOVIĆ

HIS CONTRACT EXTENSION
"I'm very proud and happy to have extended my contract. Playing for AC Milan is a big responsibility, but it's also an honor. I want to thank the coach and the Club’s management for believing in me. This is my third season here and I’ve grown a lot as a player. I'll keep working to improve every day."

HIS TIME IN SALZBURG
"I spent two great years here and grew a lot during that time. I've already seen several familiar faces, and I’m sure tomorrow will be very emotional for me."

THE DEFENSIVE SETUP
"We've used different systems so far this season. The important thing is to have clear instructions on what to do, and we do. With that in place, the formation matters less."
