The words of the Rossoneri coach after the draw against Allegri’s Juventus
With a faint voice, Stefano Pioli, coach of Milan, analyzed his players’ performance after the 0-0 draw against Juventus. «We are going through a delicate moment but behaving as we did against the team that wanted to take points to reach us in the standings was important. We sacrificed ourselves and I’m happy with the players. There was a particular pressure, without fans to support us, we fought until the end, a good reaction in short.”
«How do you find the motivations in this season finale? Working on our pride, the desire to do well until the end, we wear an important shirt, we have many fans all over the world and we need great solidarity and will until the end. We defended with great determination and if we can not lose it is a positive result for us. Solidity tonight lacking in the rest of the season. We expected them longer also due to the characteristics of my defenders. Then it is the results that make the judgements. I liked the spirit, the important thing is that the team has a spirit that carries forward until the end of the season, the team carried it forward until the end in a difficult match and in a complicated moment of the season. How did I experience rumors about successors? I haven’t read anything for a long time, let’s move forward with concentration, it was important today and we need the serenity to help the team do well until the end. What we had prepared through sacrifice and attention we put into play. I got the answers I was looking for and we have to score points to finish second in the championship”added the Milan coach.
«My modest tone? No, I don’t have a voice, other things are part of football. Things I’m proud of this season? I may have made some mistakes and the season could certainly have been better, but if we have gained so many points behind Inter and the others are all worse off than us, it means that Inter has done something particular and exceptional and they deserve to be given credit. Well done. We were at a good level, we weren’t able to keep up with them, many things can be done better. We suffered in difficult moments but there is the potential to do well», concluded the Rossoneri coach on the battle waged this season with the Nerazzurri.
