AC Milan's head coach, Stefano Pioli, spoke to the microphones of Sky Sport Italia regarding tomorrow's Champions League crucial fixture against Tottenham at the San Siro. Here are his statements:
"There is great enthusiasm and the desire to demonstrate our value in such an important and strong game as Tottenham. The presence of Maldini and Massara is constant and full of motivation to build a present and a future for us."
He added:
"We still have the desire to work together and try new things to get back to our level. I am proud of my players who have a strong sense of belonging and great pride. From a motivational point of view, it will be simple but complicated at the same time."
Pioli concluded:
"They will be the two most important matches for me and for us because we have never reached this high in the Champions League. We all know the importance of this round of the Champions League and we are very positive. Conte is a coach who always manages to give a good philosophy despite having many absences and like all English teams they have a large squad. To beat them, we need to play with more pace and be up to a very intense match."
