Montella is wary of all Juventus players

Juventus is arguably one of the most competitive sides in all of Europe, their roster doesn't only include striker Gonzalo Higuain who is one of the best in the country, it also includes players such as Mario Mandzukic or Paulo Dybala who are also very dangerous on the attack. AC Milan manager Vincenzo Montella, who is about to play against Juventus for the Supercoppa Italia, warned all his pupils about the dangers of Juventus. 

Talking to Tuttosport, Montella said: "Juventus are not just about Higuain. Paulo Dybala, for example, is one of the best in the world. Can we beat them? Well, we have done already, but they are a team that has been built to win the Champions League. Massimiliano Allegri has a complete team that can play in so many ways. As for the €90m spent on him [Higuain], it is the law of supply and demand.

"It has made the gap between the value of the players much wider but if we think about what buys you an average player and what buys you a player like Higuain, that right there is this difference. It is because the fans identify with being champions, therefore they want a champion."

The Milan boss added: "I want to see the right attitude. Against Juventus it is not enough to be at 90 per cent, you need 100 percent and a little bit more. Then it takes a bit of luck - Juve have won five and a half league titles. But it is not true this Milan are not used to finals. Only last May, they played in the Coppa Italia final and then I think my team in the league have played several matches as if they were a final.

"Even against Roma, for example, the mentality was like that. Apart from the result [a 1-0 away loss], I was pleased with my players. It will be different from when we beat Juventus in the league, but I won't tell you whether and how I will change my Milan and give away any advantages. It is not thanks to me that we will be in Doha. I would like to say a final thank you to my predecessors [Sinisa] Mihajlovic, [Cristian] Brocchi and the players that were here a year ago."
