Coach Stefano Pioli returns to Milanello with his squad with one point picked up against Massimiliano Allegri's Juventus.
The Italian tactician was asked to share his thoughts about the result. Here are his words, entrusted to the microphones of Milan TV:
"We are a great team and today's performance must give us confidence. We gave our opponents a goal on a situation that absolutely needs to be reviewed. It was a serious mistake. Through the game and the intensity, however, we recovered the game and this is important."
There was a lot of time lost during the match...
"Absolutely. Then we wonder why when we face certain opponents, we suffer. 48 minutes of actual play are too few. Too much chatter on the pitch, too many minutes lost on the ground. We also need to improve in protests. I say this for us but also for the show, for the fans."
On the absences and on what could have come with the whole team:
"These setbacks have deprived me of the possibility of making some turnover with some players. I could have had some more effective changes in terms of characteristics. We played an excellent match. Now comes the hard part because after such an important week in terms of the prestige of the opponents, now there are games that are more difficult to face against opponents like Venezia and Spezia."
