Orsolini claims Milan ‘are favourites’ for Coppa Italia despite poor season: “Surely” | OneFootball

AC Milan face Bologna in the Coppa Italia final next week, and Riccardo Orsolini has spoken about the tie, and how he feels the Rossoneri are the stronger competition.

Despite their year, there are no doubts that Milan are still one of the biggest football clubs in the world, let alone Europe, or even Italy. So, the perception of the club remains strong, and opponents will still fear the Rossoneri, especially in a final.

This is without even considering the route to the final, which saw the Diavolo cruise past Roma and dismantle Inter at San Siro in the second leg of the semi-final. A huge result, and a reminder that the club are actually still the same team that once was so feared.

Speaking ahead of the game, Orsolini has admitted that it will not be easy preparing for the two games, and even stated that he thinks Milan are the favourites for the clash when speaking to Sky, via Milan News.

In six days, Milan twice: everything and nothing…

“Mamma mia, yes… these will be heated days because preparing for the double challenge against the same team will not be easy, neither for us nor for them. Beyond the strategies, we will have to try to be as focused and clear-headed as possible in trying to bring home both challenges. Surely on paper they are the favorites, but it is clear that we are fine, we want to play and we are strong.”
