Antonio Conte:"We're coming off the back of two seventh-placed finishes, so it wasn't right to put Juventus among the initial Scudetto favourites"
"My first objective is to get back to being competitive, having credibility in the eyes of the fans and opponents"
"The first objective has been reached, now the second step is to confirm our competitiveness in the long run"
"If we also reach the second objective, we'll think further"
"Thinking about the players on a yellow card for tomorrow doesn't interest me. The game against Cesena is fundamental like the others"
"Winning against Cesena is important for us because it would mean continuity"
"Pirlo is a vitally important man and player, but I've got maximum faith in whoever plays tomorrow"
"Pirlo is a reference point but the team will give 120% to make up for his absence"
"I'm surprised by the ease in which Milan are beating their opponents. They're truly a strong team"
"A manager must know how to manage a group psychologically as well as understanding technique and tactics"
"Against Napoli I preferred to speak to the team during the break instead of changing the side or shape, and I was right"
"It's not true that Napoli were more tired than us. We were both in the same condition"

I think the 4-2-4 would suit well against a side like Cesena and would be a good excuse to play Estigarribia. Put him next to Vucinic, Matri and Pepe and we would have no trouble overwhelming Cesena who will sit back. Its a system the team knows how to play well in and we won't be compensating creativity by playing Pazienza but instead playing another attacker.
We can add a forward and switch to a 4-3-3 for a change...
(Quaq or DP instead of Pirlo)
If we want to keep the 4-4-2 we should opt for a flat one, instead of the 4-1-3-2 variation we have been using.
With Marchisio and Vidal holding the midfield and Krasic return as a winger.
We can afford a Pirlo-less experiment vs a team like Cesena, cant we?
