While AC Milan welcomes Fiorentina this Saturday, Viola midfielder Arthur Melo hopes that Olivier Giroud will not play this match.
After two weeks of international break, AC Milan hosts Fiorentina at San Siro this Saturday (8:45 p.m.) for the 13th day of Serie A. The Rossoneri will then continue with a crucial match with a view to qualifying for the eighth of the Champions League final, against Borussia Dortmund, Tuesday (9 p.m.).
Therefore, Viola midfielder Arthur Melo hopes that Milan coach Stefano Pioli will rotate his squad this weekend in preparation for next week’s Champions League match. The Brazilian hopes in particular that Olivier Giroud and Rafael Leao will be spared.
“It would be better if Giroud and Leao did not play”
“Leao and Giroud are doing very well and we know they are very strong. For us it would be better if they don’t play, but AC Milan has a lot of strong players, Arthur Melo told Sky Sports. No matter who they go on the pitch with, AC Milan can cause us damage. We must stay focused. Our main goal is to win every game, and then we’ll see where we can get. Against AC Milan, it will be a very difficult match, against a very strong team. »
