They have to win!

Otherwise, they are out of the compitition of champions of Series A!!!

To tell the truth, Milan is one of the best team in Europe with good balance on
attack and defence. They own great capability. However, sometimes they cannot
utilize the capability and they are over-selfconfident somehow. In this game,
the whole team are well motivated psycologically and all their potentials have
been presented. To this point, they deserve wins.

I hope they can walk out of the shadow of the last few games and make really good
performance in the next few games.

What I think is Lippi is reasonable to some extent.

Firstly, Juv has been leading Milan for 8 points. That is not a small gap.
Even if they lose this game to Milan, they are still 5 points lead.
That's not a small amount as well. Therefore, to Juv it is a normal game
and to Milan it is a die-is-out game.

Secondly, don't forget European Champions League is incoming. Although Piero
is ready, Lippi would not like to take the risk of presenting him in the starting
time. Lippi surely know that this is an significant match for Milan and they will
go all out to grab a win at any price. The least thing he'd like to see is that
Piero will be injured again. To this point, Lippi still kept some reservation for
this match. And this is verified by the whole match. Both sides kicked heavily.
More than 2 yellow cards issued.

Last not the least, I'm sorry to hear that you are a Juv fan. But do not be heart-broken.
Juv still have better opportunity and do not forget Inter Milan. From the match schedule,
they are the most suitable candidate for champion of Series A, believe it or not.

But try to think anout this issue another way.

Both Milan and Juv will be invovled in two sets of match:
Series A and Champions League. Even if Milan had eliminated
Real, who will benefit? Their next rival, Juv. And for Juv?
It's Inter! Actually what do you think Lippi consider as the
most horrible opponent? In this stage, it is definitely Inter!
So even if Lippi had eliminated Milan, the happiest man is
Cuper... agree? And even Milan will probably play false ball
when meeting with Inter!!! So both sides have to consider
carefully and make a proper balance between two sets of games!

My personal opinion, only for reference.
