AC Milan defender Luca Antonelli has backed the team to enjoy success this season.

The Rossoneri are currently in training under new manager Sinisa Mihajlovic, who replaced Filippo Inzaghi earlier this summer.

Antonelli believes that the hard work that the squad is putting in this summer will stand them in good stead for the campaign ahead.

"We're doing a lot of work," he told the club's official television channel. "It's the right thing to do, to give us fuel throughout the year. This year will bring us a lot of satisfaction, I'm sure we'll do well.

"We're taking things one day at a time. We work and sweat so much because we want to end this season with a lot of satisfaction."

Antonelli scored one goal in 12 games for Milan last season after joining the club from Genoa in January.
