Costacurta: AC Milan cannot afford to lose to Juventus; Baroni and Palladino a surprise

Costacurta admits Milan's Scudetto hopes depend on the result.

He said at a meeting on Sunday: “It will be a very important match. If the gaps were to widen, Milan could run into psychological problems because it would not be easy to get points with many teams ahead of them. Juve is calmer in the match.” In this regard, they are improving in Thiago Motta's project. They are a lively, young and fun team that Milan cannot afford to lose.”

Costacurta also said: “The teams that surprised me the most are Lazio and Fiorentina. When (Marco) Baroni was introduced, there were a lot of doubts and even if he had already shown that he was a good coach, it was difficult to predict that he would do that.” both in Italy and in Europe as well.

“(Raffaele) Palladino had already made himself noticed at Monza. He showed himself to be an interesting coach. He stood out among the young coaches: he has a great future ahead of him, just like Viola.”
