AC Milan coach Gennaro Gattuso is demanding greater consistency from his players.

Milan meet Empoli on Friday night.

“I'm concerned," said Gattuso.

“it won't be easy. Iachini prepares well for games and he's not joking around. Empoli have good players and an efficient defence.

“They've changed their tactical set-up and games like these determine how much we've grown.

“We have three games in eight days, a factor not to be underestimated, but it is useless to think beyond tomorrow's game.

“We're at a crossroads in the season and we must find the consistency that we haven't shown up to now."
