"Zachary Athekame is hoping for a repeat of the first meeting with Pisa when he scored his first AC Milan goal, but this time for three points. For Milan, the mission tonight is two-fold: to win and cut the gap to Inter back down to five points, but also to take advantage of the fact that their city rivals host Juventus at San Siro tomorrow night, while Napoli welcome Roma to the Stadio Diego Armanda Maradona on Sunday."
"Athekame spoke to DAZN around an hour before kick-off at the Arena Garibaldi and he gave his thoughts ahead of what will be another opportunity for him, replacing Alexis Saelemaekers. MilanNews relayed his words. In the first meeting you scored your first and only goal for Milan, have you thought about it? "Yes, yes, it was a great emotion." Are you looking for more goals? "I hope so, but the most important thing for me is to win." What is it like to live this moment? "I'm happy and focused. I hope to play a good game with the team." What does the manager ask of you? "It's a tough match but I think the team is ready.""
Zachary Athekame aims to repeat his goal against Pisa and secure three points for AC Milan. Milan seek a win to cut the deficit to Inter to five points and to exploit upcoming rival fixtures. The Rossoneri last played ten days ago, winning 3-0 at Bologna. Massimiliano Allegri made one change with Fikayo Tomori replacing Koni De Winter. Several forwards are not fully fit, so Ruben Loftus-Cheek starts up front. Athekame replaces Alexis Saelemaekers, describes his first Milan goal as a great emotion, prioritizes team victory, says he is happy and focused, and expects a tough match.
