Coach Stefano Pioli, after the win against Roma, granted an interview during the post match to Sky:
"I told the team that two negative games cannot take away our beliefs and certainties. We hoped to do better in these two weeks, but not being able to do so must give us more strength. In the first half we also had to materialise. moreover, an important victory, makes us go out of two rather special weeks, congratulations to the guys."
On Tomori:
"He immediately started playing with this personality. I still believe that it is the collective that allows the individual to express himself in the best possible way. We deservedly won an important and difficult race."
On Tactics:
"We tried to wait on their construction, but they have players who have great speed. When you get the timing wrong you can take some risks, but we finally recovered some balls in more in the opponent's half."
On the naivety mistakes:
"It is part of our growth path, we are a young team. We are doing something really important, we have +17 points compared to last year, we are the youngest team who played the most It was a performance of great spirit and quality, great satisfaction to be able to win. In the matches with Spezia and Inter we were not ourselves."
On the injuries of Calhanoglu, Ibra and Rebic:
"All three have had muscle problems. At the moment they seem more tired, we will evaluate tomorrow. The period is challenging but I have many players, I hope to have as many as possible available for the next races. are not competitive things."
On the group:
"It is a very young and responsible group. We suffered in the last two weeks. We knew we had disappointed the fans, we struggled to digest the defeats, but it was enough to speak clearly. The path is made up of obstacles. I want to congratulate Paolo Di Canio, he has style and he looks like me with that beard (laughs)."
