“We can not stop to these disappointments that we have suffered and that we have given to these fans, so we must necessarily have the desire, the redemption, to remain compact and the desire to win matches until the championship. We suffer from these situationsbut we have a duty to get up again.” Stefano Piolicoach of Milanspoke like this in the press conference after the defeat in the derby and on the eve of the match against Juventus.
“We have not always managed to put our qualities into play – he continues -. Inter have had the strongest team in the championship for four years and have only won two championships. If I could change the outcome of the derbies I would give everything I have, but it can’t be done anymore. I for one must have broad shoulders. It was painful to see the opponents celebrate. Inter are stronger, they have been more continuous, more solid. However, we weren’t the only ones who couldn’t keep up.”
Returning to the actual game, Pegs explains that “the priority was to try to be compact in the defensive phase, so the choices were oriented there. The plan worked up to a certain point, then when you concede a goal from a corner you put them in a position to do well what they do well. The missed conference? A choice of society. I have always assumed my responsibilities, otherwise I would remain in press silence until the end of the season. Compliments of Inzaghi? It’s a credit to him, even if it’s easier to compliment him when you win. Last year Inter took a lot of points from Napoli, then the seasons were reset and this year Inter won the Scudetto. Things change. I think it was a mistake not to underline the progress made in the Champions League last year, I don’t know what caused it… But there’s no point in hiding it: the fact that it was Inter who won the Scudetto and eliminated us is all that makes the difference in our environment. When Juve won and Milan finished fifth-sixth everything was ok, now that Inter are there everything is highlighted more.”
