CARNAGO (ITALPRESS) – “Against Juventus it is an important match for many reasons. Due to the negative results in the Europa League and the derby, the focus can only be on this challenge, on finishing second, we must try to do well and win again because they have been a delicate and difficult 10 days.” Thus the Milan coach, Stefano Pioli, on the eve of the match at Juventus, a classic of Italian football that comes at a very complicated moment for the Devil. “We cannot stop at the negative results and disappointments that we have suffered and that we have given to our fans, we must necessarily have the desire to redeem ourselves, to remain united between now and the end of the championship, we are professionals, we suffer from this situation and we must get up to put in the best possible performance”, added Pioli who gives the recipe for restarting properly: “We will have to fight and give our all on every ball, be concentrated and overcome an opponent who is in a good moment and who is well, but we absolutely want to maintain second place. There are 5 days left, we have to show who we are, we are Milan and we want to get out of these difficult days by finishing at our best”, added Pioli who defends his players. “Inter has been the strongest in the championship for 4 years and has won two championships, we have never been the strongest, but we have fought for the top positions, we have given everything but we have not always managed to play at our best our possibilities.” For him, the derby with the Nerazzurri has always been a problem and handing over the scudetto to his “cousins” is not easy to accept. “In these 4-5 years there have never been middle ground, there have been very positive and very negative moments, this one we are experiencing is the closest and therefore also the most painful, I would give everything I have to change the result derbies, but it can’t be done, you have to have broad shoulders and move forward. It was a great pain to lose the derby and see our rivals celebrate, but now we just have to start again.” There will be time to think about the future: “Let’s wait for the end of the championship, then each of us will evaluate him, there was certainly something positive, but also negative.” Now head only to Juventus. “We have to give our all, give the best possible performance in a very important match for the standings and for the mood, we have to be at 100% in all situations. We face a solid team that can find the play at any time, has strong and unpredictable attackers and furthermore Juve is strong and skilled on dead balls”, explains Pioli who considers “the exit from the Europa League and the month in which we took the detachment from the Nerazzurri”, the crucial moments of the season, but adds and underlines: “Inter is the strongest, it is continuous and solid, we have not managed to maintain certain levels, but we are not the only ones who have not maintained the level of Inter”.
