Clarence Seedorf is licking his lips at the prospect of the top games just around the corner.
After playing in the draw against Benfica that ensured the Rossoneri's progress to the play-off phase of the Champions League, the Holland international admitted that they were now heading into the games that left his mouth watering.
The four-time Euro champion said, "Now it gets good — also in the Champions League from February we're heading toward the games I like."
The 31-year-old was forced to skip the Rossoneri's Game Day 13 win at Cagliari because of an ankle injury.
The injury caused some concern again against Benfica, resulting in the former Real Madrid and Ajax player's substition after 75 minutes.
The midfielder, however, insisted that he would definitely make it for the Serie A classic on Saturday against Juventus at the San Siro, the first in two years.
He said, "Sure I'll make it. I've got three days ahead of me to get ready for Saturday evening."
The last time the two teams met was Game Day 10 in the 2005/06 season, which AC Milan won 3-1 with the Dutchman opening the scoring.
