"The tasks are always the same: trying to do everything and doing it well. Jashari and I get along well, like with the other midfielders in the team. We will try to play our game but the tasks are always the same: doing well defensively above all and then contributing in attack as well."
"I've already spoken to the coach, as beyond a professional relationship, a great friendship developed at Torino. We talk often. The coach taught me a lot, and I wish him the best. We will see how it goes today."
Milan's confidence suffered after a 1-1 draw with Genoa, increasing the importance of a response against an in-form Fiorentina away. Massimiliano Allegri rotated the squad because of a tight schedule, making six changes including Samuele Ricci. Ricci and Ardon Jashari will partner in midfield with tasks focused on defensive solidity first, while also contributing to attack. Ricci and Jashari get along well and can occupy deep-sitting roles on either side to provide positional fluidity. Ricci retains a strong friendship with former coach Vanoli from Torino, credits Vanoli for teaching him a lot, and wishes him the best.
