Ambrosini bracing for Lazio test

1 March 2013 14:09

Massimo Ambrosini has warned his team-mates they have to beat Lazio in Saturday's Serie A encounter at San Siro.

Massimiliano Allegri's men are trailing Lazio by two points in the league table, and Ambrosini has set his sights on three points as Milan continue their push for Champions League qualification.

"We're going through a delicate period at the moment and the game against Lazio will be tough," the combative midfielder told Milan Channel.

"Saturday's match is important as there are less and less games left to go. We have to think about winning the head-to-head games.

"We'll have to play intelligent football and paradoxically, Saturday's game will be the most delicate. It's a tough game to read as they make you play badly and they have dangerous players."
