AC Milan's head coach Stefano Pioli said the following words to the microphones of DAZN in view of facing Napoli at the Maradona stadium, as relayed via Milannews.it.
How to bounce back from the recent poor results: "We only have one way to defeat this situation, to let the field speak. We are a strong team, facing an opponent who is the best in the league. However, we have our qualities to put on the field, and we must do so consistently throughout the game, which will present many difficulties."
Did Osimhen's absence affect defensive choices? "No, absolutely not. I had already decided to let Simon play because he is suitable for this type of game, and he is a player with certain leadership. I have chosen the team that I believe is the best for this game."
On Kvaratskhelia: "To try to neutralize all of Napoli's offensive qualities, clearly we need to make the game dirtier, maintain proper distances with the right doubles, and have the chance to suffer fewer duels. They are very good in duels, so we will try to be very careful. We must not only think about the defensive phase but also propose an offensive football because we have the qualities to make things difficult for them."
