After the Milan - Sampdoria match, AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli spoke like this at the press conference: "We saw a different Milan because we had more quality. We were good at exploiting the spaces in which we become dangerous. That being said, it is important to note that we faced a team that is certainly struggling, but we put on a good performance. We had to take advantage of this opportunity to start and leave behind a disappointment that will last for a long time."
Pioli continues:
"As Giroud said, we now have to prepare for the next two matches as if they were finals. His hat-trick brings enthusiasm and motivation that have never been lacking. Leao also did very well. For a player like him, who is not only technically skilled but also works hard on his sprints, losing ten days is detrimental. Furthermore, tonight, like the whole team, he was very good in the recoveries."
Pioli also spoke with Sky Sport Italia about the ideal profile to reinforce the attack in the summer's transfer window:
"A strong player. I believe the objective will be to improve the squad. The foundation is solid; the club has done well to extend the contracts of the players who have allowed us to go on this journey. We have seen that there are no starters or substitutes; we need players who belong to Milan. Names? I don't know anything."
