Calciomercato.com speak of 'red alert' for Pisa in view of the match against Milan at the Arena Garibaldi at 20:45 CET today. The Tuscan side are six points away from safety and cannot afford for their winless run to keep going, and now they have another issues. The deputy goalkeeper Simone Scuffet has in fact not been called up due to injury

When the match starts, anything can happen. I want to win every time my team plays. Against Milan, we need a certain type of tactical work, but on Friday we will enter the pitch to get a result.

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.

The second reason for seeing the connection as a strategic pact between Pisa and Denia - and this is the circumstantial evidence - lies in the configuration of military actions across the eleventh century.
