Okafor states Milan ‘have to be ready’ against Slovan: “We’re fine”

Ahead of Slovan Bratislava vs. AC Milan, Noah Okafor has spoken about his return to the team for the competition, and the game that the Rossoneri must play.

Tonight’s fixture is incredibly important for Milan. Not only do they have a chance to strengthen their Champions League progression chances – which could add significant funds to the budget – but there is also a chance to bring fans back on board.

The draw against Juventus had an effect on the fans, and the Rossoneri now must give them a reason to become confident once again.

A win against Slovan is expected, but solely winning will not do. Milan cannot afford the luxury of a passable, as Paulo Fonseca must show the dominant side that he promised when he joined in the summer, rather than the side that played this weekend.

To do this, the Portuguese has made several changes to his squad, one of those being Okafor for Rafael Leao, and the Swiss winger spoke about the fixture to Milan TV, via Milan News.

“It’s my first start in this Champions League. We’re fine, we’re ready to try and win. We have to be ready, press and be good at taking advantage of the chances we’ll have.”
