AC Milan and Juventus will meet in a potentially thrilling encounter in the Serie A on Saturday evening, November 23, 2024, at the San Siro Stadium.

Both teams are evolving under their managers – Paulo Fonseca for Milan and Thiago Motta for Juventus, and this match will further test their progress. Interestingly, the last six league encounters between the Rossoneri and the Bianconeri have yielded only six goals, including a goalless draw in their last meeting in April 2024, so a high-scoring match may not be expected.

AC Milan midfielder Tijjani Reijnders on his preferred role in the team:
– “I’m a box-to-box player, I move from one position into another. I’ve played in all the midfield roles. Number eight is my ideal role, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t play as a six or a 10,it’s not a problem for me. It’s Mr. manager Paulo Fonseca who decides where he needs me.”

Juventus manager Thiago Motta on his preference for performance over fancy football:
– “I want to see the performance, and it leads you to the result. I never wanted the
performance for aesthetics. I blindly believe that teams that play well have a greater chance of winning.”
