Donadoni confident Milan beat Feyenoord but worried about lack of ‘clear style’ under Conceicao

AC Milan must raise their performance level if they are to beat Feyenoord in the Champions League tomorrow, but Roberto Donadoni has fired a warning.

Milan have left themselves with it all to do in the second leg of their Champions League play-off tie against Feyenoord as they lost the first leg 1-0 at De Kuip, with Igor Paixao scoring the only goal three minutes it.

A lot had been said in the build-up to the game about the ‘Fantastic Four’ of Santiago Gimenez, Rafael Leao, Joao Felix and Christian Pulisic. They all got the nod, and yet the Rossoneri were shut out by a team who conceded over 20 goals in the eight games of the ‘league phase’.

Donadoni spoke during an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport published on the eve of the second leg at San Siro and admitted that he is confident but also wary of this Milan side.

How are Milan approaching tomorrow’s match?

“Not at their best, if we look at the result of the match against Verona. They won at home and by a narrow margin against a team fighting relegation, with whom the difference on a technical level is great. That said, after the defeat in Rotterdam, the three points were necessary to send a signal.”
