AC Milan midfielder Tommaso Pobega says they'll be stronger for their Dubai Super Cup defeat to Arsenal.

Pobega was played out of position at fullback for the 2-1 loss.

He said this morning: "We are not 100% but in my opinion we have had positive signs both on a physical interpretation and tactical level.

"A few days ago at Milanello he (coach Stefano Pioli) asked me if I was available to play fullback and I obviously agreed. There are some dynamics and movements that are not run in but it is a position that if needed I put my best and try to interpret it better.

"It is the first time that I am in Dubai. We have not yet seen the place much because between training and the game, however the organisation is certainly at the top and the weather helps. Twenty-five degrees is better than Milan's zeros. Let's better prepare for the next game (against Liverpool) and improve."
