Captain Francesco Magnanelli warned Milan that San Siro gives Sassuolo “extra motivation” and said they are ready “to take points from anyone.”
Magnanelli spoke to the reporters during the club’s visit to the hospital in Sassuolo and he claimed he was ready to take on a much-changed Milan.
“To play at San Siro always give us extra motivation,” he said according to ItaSportPress. “But we know that it will be a different game than it would have been a few weeks ago.”
Sassuolo are heading to Milan with five points from their last four league games and have shared the spoils with both Juventus and Cagliari in back-to-back 2-2 draws.
Magnanelli isn’t surprised that Milan have turned their fortunes around under Stefano Pioli and also pointed at Giacomo Bonaventura ahead of the game on Sunday.
“I knew that Pioli had the skills to lift the team and they got an important player like Bonaventura back,” he added. “We must try to take points from anyone.”
