“I don’t have to think about the future. I’ll talk at the end of the season”

Against the Florentine to resume the journey, dreaming of success in Europa League at the end of the season. Milan’s Stefano Pioli he is awaited by a demanding season finale and in the meantime on Saturday evening (8.45 pm) he visits Vincenzo Italiano’s Viola, still shaken by the death of Joe Barone. Precisely regarding the death of the general director “it is not the first time that something like this has happened at Fiorentina (clear reference to the death of Davide Astori in 2018, ed.) but the fans are fantastic when it comes to uniting to overcome certain moments – the words of the Parma coach – how much these deaths affect you, they become a particular environment. Barone did a lot for Fiorentina, but then it will be a real match and we go there to play.”

Then we talked about the pitch: “We have to worry about playing the best football possible to achieve great results – Pioli said again – They will be two very important months”. In this period there is also a lot of talk about the Rossoneri coach’s future at Milan, a question to the which Pioli immediately responds: “You’ve talked about it a lot, maybe a little too much, but me I don’t have to think about the future, I have to think about tomorrow and do the best I can to make this season as positive as possible – he added – At the end of the season I will say what I would like to do or not do“.

The Rossoneri coach then spoke about the important distance between Milan and Inter first and very fast towards the Scudetto: “The ranking is real, we cannot change it at the moment – Pioli continued – They have had an exceptional championship, in the last two or three months we have come very close in terms of play, we are very competitive and we want to be so until the end.” It is therefore important to get back on track and maintain the same level of play and results: “The feeling is that the decisive period of the season is beginning, everything we have done so far will depend on how we finish – added the coach – We have to worry about playing the best possible football to achieve great results. It will be a very important two months.” Finally, a consideration on Italiano’s Fiorentina and its qualities: “It is a strong team that has only lost undeservedly against Inter at home – he concluded – We have always struggled here but we want to do better tomorrow”.
