Following the defeat against Napoli in Serie A, AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli has spoken in the press conference earlier tonight. Here are his statements:
On the Scudetto:
"Never thought about the Scudetto, but we didn't want defeat, it is a pity we weren't able to extend in the league table".
On whether something more could've been done:
"Complicated but balanced game, the episode of the goal decided the match even if we then tried to come back at the end but we didn't succeed".
On the penalty action:
“In the dynamics when a player anticipates the opponent and hits the ball and then gets hit, most of the time they call a penalty. If they didn't boo it, it means they had other ideas".
On who recovers for the next game:
“I still don't know, let's hope in the coming days. We hope to recover someone”.
On whether he is confident for the future:
“Confident throughout our journey, for what the team has shown, for the technical and character qualities. The team in a difficult game tried to get back on its feet. We have to put in a better performance than tonight”.
