Werder Bremen face AC Milan on Wednesday in the UEFA Cup and for Diego the Round of 32 first leg game will be the end of a long period of suffering. After a four-game suspension, the playmaker finally can return to the pitch for the first time since the DFB Cup match against Borussia Dortmund. "I am very happy that I can finally play again. There is nothing worse for a footballer than being fit and not being able to play because of a suspension," said the Brazilian. And the fact that the game is against AC Milan gives the midfield strategist extra motivation.

 

"It is the perfect moment for this game. We are playing in a full stadium against a great team. I will give my best and hope to enjoy the game. If we can succeed in this match, it could be a good signal for the up-coming games in the Bundesliga," said the 23-year-old, who gives the Green-Whites good chances of winning. "Both teams have 50 percent chances. We won here against other big clubs such as Real Madrid, Chelsea and Inter Milan. And we want to win against AC Milan as well. That would be very important for us."

 

But Diego knows that it will take a lot of hard work. "It will be very difficult. Milan has an excellent team. They are very offensive-minded, they have world class stars and also have great players in the defence. The Italians also play very defensively as well. We will not get a lot of chances to score. But if we get an opportunity, we have to convert it as cold as ice."
