AC Milan have secured the win against Bologna 2-0. Coach Stefano Pioli is happy with the victory and is now thinking of the next challenge in such a tight schedule. Here are his statements to the microphones of Milan TV:
"It's a different season, we will play 7 games in 21 days and there will be a need for rotations. My players are fine, so I tried to give someone more time and let someone else breathe. In terms of preparation we did the same things as last year, while from today something will change. It is essential to recover energy, our squad will have to work well. I have many starters: Origi, Rebic and Diaz did not enter today; I have a strong team."
On the support of the fans:
"The audience is great. Getting to San Siro by bus with all the fans waiting for us outside, finding them inside, it gives us all the energy that the match requires."
On the victory vs Bologna, Pioli said:
"Balance is not only tactical, but also mental. We must not lose our intensity, but we are a mature and ready team that knows what it is doing and that knows when to manage certain situations. The matches are difficult: we did well today, but we know we can do even better."
