Dear kool Italian kids and Juve,
This is going to be interesting watching you play in the Champions League. This is a tough competition. It's edgy. Dangerous even. If you want to win, your have to do it the Milan way.
No matter what your tifosi say, in order to achive your full potential in these games, you must neglect the domestic league entirely [we cannot stress this enough]. There are no more doubles or trebles in Italian football, my friends. Grow your hair out as long as possible [the longer the better]. Lose all feeling in your heads, by banging your foreheads against the stadium walls [do this before every game]. Show your true devotion to the gods of Europe and build a shrine in the shape of the coppa out of worn cleats and your own flesh. You must eat, sleep and train with the glorious CL theme blaring in your earphones! You must live the CL, breathe the CL and when you go to bed at night you must see Michele Platini in your dreams making overly polite conversation with your captain and trying to smell his hair!
Failure to exercise one or more of these crucial guidelines will result in utter failure. We are speaking from a place of vast experience aka 7 [count em] friggin trophies. If you have any questions please direct your text messages to the Milan management. Note that every reply will cost you 3 points in Serie A. A small price to pay compared to the triumphant glory that awaits you in Rome.
Best of luck.
