Chievo Coach Gigi Del Neri has called this afternoon's opponents
Milan "an entire squad of Fenomeni, not just Ronaldo."

The Flying Donkeys pay visit to San Siro and the questions focused
on Ronaldo, although there was much more as far as the tactician was
concerned.


"Milan are a squad full of great players. You just have to mention
the names Paolo Maldini, Kaka, Andrea Pirlo and now Ronaldo as well.
The whole side are Fenomeni.


"If we are to beat them, then we must try to block their initiatives
and maintain a very high level of concentration throughout. Also, as
they play at a slower tempo than Roma, we'll focus more on raising
our pace."


The 2-2 draw with Roma midweek impressed, especially as Chievo are
still in the midst of an injury crisis that has ruled out Federico
Cossato, Vincenzo Sicignano, Luciano, Cesar Prates and Victor
Obinna, on top of the suspended Fabio Moro and Erjon Bogdani.


"We are playing good football and proved that against the likes of
Inter, Palermo and Roma," continued Del Neri.


"When you pick up points against the big clubs, it's worth something
in terms of morale as well as in the table, especially as they are
unexpected. Those results gave us confidence and certainty in our
capabilities."


Sergio Pellissier is expected to start upfront alongside Franco
Semioli and Giuseppe Cozzolino in a 4-3-3 system.


"I don't want to hear talk of an emergency situation, as those who
played on Wednesday, like Giovanni Marchese and Michele Marcolini,
showed they were up to the task. Perhaps we are missing a few people
in key roles, so to get round that we will look at the system we'll
adopt."



Chievo squad: Brighi, Concetti, Cozzolino, D'Anna, Italiano,
Kosowski, Lanna, Malagò, Mandelli, Mantovani, Marchese, Marcolini,
Pellissier, Rickler, Rrudho, Sammarco, Scurto, Semioli, Squizzi,
Troiano.
