According to calciolecce.it, Lecce manager Di Francesco discussed the away match against AC Milan and their midfield during a pre-match press conference.

Speaking about AC Milan, Di Francesco said: "They lost to Benfica, but they're not a weak team. The result is acceptable; perhaps Benfica understood the game better. AC Milan has high-level players, and they proved it, especially in the second half. This is a different AC Milan—more aggressive—but Lecce is also different. Last season, when we played them in the Coppa Italia and league, we weren't the same as we are now, so this match can't be compared to last season. AC Milan is playing more aggressively and more focused positionally."

Regarding AC Milan's midfield, Di Francesco stated: "AC Milan is a complete team; you can't just look at the midfield. They play Loftus-Cheek as an attacking midfielder, and sometimes Rabiot advances too. It's more that they have many midfielders on the pitch rather than just one attacking midfielder.

If you want to analyze Modrić, that's another topic. Whether he's protected by three or two players isn't the main point for me. Many matches are decided in midfield, but that's like saying a team's defense is poor—who's actually defending? The defensive line is one thing, but overall defense depends on the entire team, and strikers are the first line of defense at any level of play. I don't think AC Milan's problem is in midfield. You can't generalize; you need to look at it more comprehensively."
