AC Milan managed to bring home 3 points from a difficult stadium such as the Olimpico against Mourinho's Roma.
Coach Stefano Pioli, after the game, talked to DAZN and said these words:
"It is right to have played with personality, with our ideas and our way of approaching the match. We played an excellent match in 11 against 11. We must to play certain matches with this charisma, because in football you never know how long a moment like this will last. Now is the time to be bold, not to be fearful."
"The referee? You comment on the ref's decisions while I coach the team and now we throw ourselves back into the Champions League. We want to be proactive in the Champions League as well, with Porto, which is an excellent team, we will try our best."
On the performance:
"I have four midfielders plus Krunic of great level. I have the possibility to rotate them a little more, because playing with these rhythms is not easy. I know Bennacer well as he has these qualities. We have to continue like this. We are the bosses in some moments, in others, we defend ourselves, and in others we fix things; the red card complicated things for us, but we worked hard and took the victory home against a difficult opponent who had never lost at the Olimpico."
On Ibrahimovic:
"Ibra is always energized, every day. The champions also feed on these motivations. I was more excited when I was playing away games. Ibra is a great champion who is helping the team to grow. If he manages to train continuously, he will only be able to grow. Tonight I saw him more relaxed in his movements, more connected with the team, more active. I also saw Giroud well", declared Pioli.
On winning against Roma:
"These games give us strength and conviction. We have to ride this positive moment and stay focused, too. We are always positive with our attitudes."
