Stefano PioliMilan’s coach, spoke thus to Sky Sport after the match against Torino: “In my opinion, the result is too clear, we only allowed four shots on goal. In the first half we were careless, it was a difficult match. They were more attentive and determined.”
To reach the levels of the top teams, what is missing?
“This year we were better than normal, it means that the team gave a lot and worked well. It’s not a question of starters and alternatives, tonight Torino put something extra into it.”
The final part of the championship is approaching, what are your feelings?
“It will be the last match of the championship, then we’ll see. We’ve been talking about this for too many months, the team was good because it’s not easy to follow a coach in a situation like that. I experienced everything with great balance.”
What was the difficulty in this condition for you?
“I haven’t had any difficulties because the group has always been cohesive. We had difficulties like the other teams, we had a good championship. The regret remains the exit from the Champions League.”
With a couple of goals against Salernitana you can have the best attack of your five years, while you already have the worst defense.
“These are two significant and important figures, we had defensive difficulties but we were – even tonight – not very clear. We could have done much better, we have conceded too many goals this season”.
Do you expect to receive a call-up from the club before the last home match?
“I don’t have any appointments with the club, I don’t know what will happen. If it will happen before or after Salernitana.”
What are you referring to when you say “too many months”?
“I’m not mad at anyone, it’s not a simple situation that we handled in the best possible way.”
Would you like to go to the North, Center or South afterwards?
“I haven’t spoken to any other team, I have too much respect for what we’ve done in recent years. I’ll think about it when the time is right, now I’m focused on this final.”
