Coach Stefano Pioli granted an interview to Milan TV after the game against Cagliari. This is what the gaffer had to say:
"All victories come with sacrifice and sweat. Limiting it to sacrifice alone is not fair for the players because it was a success achieved with quality. If we continue to play with heart and quality we can continue to do well."
On Ibrahimovic's performance:
"We are talking about an absolute champion with great technique and personality. He is giving us a great help and thanks to him our teammates have grown. Without him we have shown that we are a team and that we are a compact group. Ibrahimovic improves us and has allowed us to grow even further.
On the red card shown to Saelemaekers:
"The boy is growing up and he apologized to the whole team. He was heartbroken. I don't want to defend him but they were two undeserved yellow cards. . He made this mistake in Naples too but I liked his attitude after the game."
On Simon Kjaer:
"He wasn't hurt but he has this problem that he can't overcome and makes him play a bit stuck with the fear of getting hurt. I took it off as a precaution and I hope he can recover well for the match against Atalanta given the absences of Saelemaekers and Romagnoli."
