The Serie A side's coach urges his team to put domestic matters to the back of their minds and concentrate on beating their Czech opponents in the Champions League group stage.AC Milan will put thoughts of Sunday's match with Juventus to the back of their minds and concentrate on the Champions League group stage clash with Viktoria Plzen, coach Massimiliano Allegri has promised.The Serie A champions host the Czech Republic side in their second Group H fixture, and the 44-year-old tactician has urged his players to focus on the task at hand."I'll put out my strongest team, then we'll start thinking about Juventus on Thursday" Allegri told Gazzetta dello Sport. "All I want to think about now is this match and getting Ibrahimovic back."The former Cagliari coach also issued a word of warning ahead of Wednesday's fixture, claiming that, despite their low-profile status on the European stage, the Czech champions have the ability to cause his side problems. "They're a well-drilled unit, technically sound and very quick on the wings," he said. "As it's never easy to win matches, we'll have to face them with the right amount of determination."Milan go into the game in a strong position having earned a point away to Barcelona before securing their first league win of the season on Saturday, beating Cesena 1-0 at San Siro.
