"To take to the field tomorrow evening at San Siro we will need to be sportingly happy but also very proud to play against the top of the class. We know how strong Milan are and we will need to be very humble in defence, but also confident when we have possession of the ball. We know who we are playing against, but in football nothing is impossible. I need everyone. Whoever makes themselves available and whoever is fit will be part of my decisions."
"Gilardino got a move to Milan in 2005 after his exploits with Parma. With the Rossoneri he won the 2006-07 Champions League, the 2007 UEFA Super Cup and the 2007 FIFA Club World Cup. Spells at Fiorentina, Genoa, Bologna, Guangzhou Evergrande, Palermo, Empoli, Pescara and Spezia would end his illustrious career, and he also made 57 appearances for the Italian national team."
Alberto Gilardino leads Pisa into a return match at San Siro and describes the occasion as special. He earned comparisons to Filippo Inzaghi during his playing days for his predatory finishing and succeeded Inzaghi as Pisa coach after Inzaghi moved to Palermo. Gilardino moved to AC Milan in 2005 from Parma and collected the 2006-07 Champions League, 2007 UEFA Super Cup and 2007 FIFA Club World Cup. His playing career included spells across Italy and China and 57 caps for the national team. As coach he emphasizes humility in defence, confidence in possession, squad availability, and praises Allegri’s impact on Milan’s defensive unity and mentality.
