 Rino Gattuso talked about the issues surrounding the big game and said:
'We know in our heart that nothing will be decided from Milan-Juve, but however
, we are thinking like this: there will be plenty of people, the stadium will
be full, and there will be great expectation. Not until after the game on
Saturday evening will we look ahead to the Brugge game. How do we remain fully
concentrated for four days in a row? Milan-Juve and Brugge-Milan are a walk in
the park compared to last May when we had an all-Italian Champions League semi
-final and final. The pitch? That's a difficult one. They have tried for a
number of years to improve it but it's been a difficult problem for 13 years
now. Let's see what it's like on Saturday evening. The difference from
Manchester is that Nedved is playing and we'll see a stronger side.'
