Suso Says Early Goal Can Spark Comeback
AC Milan are preparing for a high-stakes Europa League Round of 16 second-leg clash against Arsenal, trailing 0–2 after the first match. To advance, the Rossoneri must win at the Emirates Stadium. Ahead of the game, Milan midfielder Suso expressed his belief that scoring early—especially in the first half—could reignite their hopes. Fans following Crickex Sign Up are eager to see if Milan can defy the odds and pull off a stunning turnaround.
“The result from the first leg wasn’t ideal for us, but we can’t give up now,” Suso said during the pre-match press conference. “It’s going to be an exciting match because we’ve got nothing to lose. We have to play better this time. There’s no need to worry about how Arsenal play; our focus should be on our own game.”
Suso emphasized that an early goal could change the dynamics of the entire tie. “If we manage to score in the first half, everything changes. The suspense comes back, and so does our belief,” he noted. “But we can’t be desperate for it. If we rush and get anxious, it opens the door for Arsenal’s counterattacks. We need to be smart and stay composed.”
He also touched on the psychological and tactical demands of this match, comparing it to their recent Serie A fixture. “Arsenal are a strong team, and we’ll be playing at a beautiful stadium, but to be honest, preparing for our last league game against Genoa was even tougher for me. That game showed how we can come together as a team. If we bring that same unity tomorrow, I believe we still have a shot.”
When discussing Arsenal’s form, Suso was candid: “They’re not at their peak, but they have excellent players and a great coach. If they’re focused, they can always raise their level. I was a bit surprised by the first-leg result, but not entirely.”
He also shared his confidence in Juventus during their Champions League tie against Tottenham. “Some thought Spurs would easily advance after the 2–2 draw in the first leg, but they clearly didn’t understand what Juve is made of. They’re strong in both attack and defense, and they never give up. I always believed Juventus would make the quarterfinals.”
As the match approaches, Milan fans and Crickex Sign Up users alike are hoping for a dramatic comeback. With players like Suso showing belief and determination, the second leg could be a turning point. Crickex Sign Up continues to track every twist in Milan’s European campaign.
