UCL: AC Milan won’t change approach for Osimhen – Pioli

Date:

AC Milan manager Stefan Pioli admitted that the Rosseneri will not change their approach for Victor Osimhen.

The current Serie A champions head into the quarter-final contest of the Champions League with a slender 1-0 advantage from the first leg.

Osimhen missed the last two meetings between both sides due to a muscular problem.

The powerful forward is now ready to lead Napoli’s attack on Tuesday.

The 24-year-old is the Partenopei’s leading scorer in the competition with four goals from five outings.

Pioli is wary of the threat posed by the Nigerian but hinted his team will go into the game with their usual style of play.

“He is such a powerful, impressive and decisive striker, so we take his characteristics into account, but at the same time we have our own way of playing football and we won’t move away from that,” Pioli told a press conference on Monday.
“We saw with previous Napoli games that a lot of it is about knowing the moment to slow down and speed up, and that is even more crucial with a player like Osimhen.”
