"We'll face a very well prepared team", coach Ettore Messina said in the introductory press conference. "Their game is based on a strong defense and a precise execution of the offensive plays. It'll be a very difficult game for us". 

Coach Messina explained that without Malcolm Delaney, who's out with a hamstring injury, some changes will be made in the rotations: "Delaney's absence will force us to change our rotations a little bit. But, as usual, controlling the boards and a good ball-movement will be keys against their aggressiveness", the coach revealed. 

Italian forward Pippo Ricci confirmed that the game against Bayern will be a very tough one for Milan: "We know that we're going to play on a very difficult court. They're a strong and tough team and they're improving in every single game", Ricci said. "Our goal is to play for 40 minutes with great energy and attention to the details".
