MILAN (ITALPRESS) – “There must be the will to win the match. There are four days to go and we still haven’t quite achieved second place.” Stefano Pioli tries to keep focus on tomorrow’s match against Genoa, scheduled for 6pm at San Siro. But what matters is his future, rather than the final matches remaining to conclude the championship. “Outside we talk about everything except tomorrow’s match, we’re thinking about that – replied Pioli -. We have a great sense of responsibility and many things to do. We are focused on this. We will think about the future at the end of the championship. We have the chance to demonstrate that we are a cohesive and serious group. We must honor an important shirt.” And on the rumors that he would be on the Napoli bench next season he comments: “No worries. At the end of the championship I will meet the club. Zlatan and Moncada were here yesterday. The relationship is good, as it always has been. At the end of the season we will talk about the future – added Pioli – The work is not finished yet, I have a contract for another year and I will not talk to anyone else until I am here. I’m not thinking about my future, until May 26th I’m focused on my team. Then we will decide what to do.” The Rossoneri coach also focused on the hostile climate towards him: “I was praised a lot and criticized a lot, I think it’s part of the role of coach of a great team. In these almost five years, our fans have been an added value and have supported us with enthusiasm, especially in difficult moments. Six months ago I was ‘on fire’? In these 5 years I often came home with a happy heart when I was on fire, then recently things changed and I was a little sadder. But I enjoyed the satisfaction that the fans gave me so much, I also suffered a lot.” – Photo: Ipa Agency -(ITALPRESS).
