AC Milan have won 4-1 at the San Siro against Torino in what was matchday 2 of the Serie a. The Rossoneri gaffer, Stefano Pioli, has spoken to the microphones of Sky Sport Italia and said these words after the game:
"A new striker? Giroud is a great player. However, it is clear that when the Champions League comes, you want to be competitive in both competitions, nobody will be able to guarantee you 100% throughout the season.The more solutions we have, the better it will be: in At the moment we are fully booked, but then the club will see what to do."
Switching between the 4-2-3-1 and the 4-3-3?
"There is this possibility, and it will happen when everyone is in the best condition. But it's not the playing system that makes you more offensive, it's the positions. Probably this year we are more offensive compared to last year because we have two midfielders who make a lot of forward runs. We have principles, and then the field determines if something needs to be changed. We have many alternatives, Pulisic can play behind Giroud. But it's time to provide continuity, then we will see", said Pioli.
On Pulisic:
"He is a great player. Very intelligent. Balance is needed. The team has taken steps forward compared to the Bologna match. We have done many good things, but we can also do better."
Everyone seems to be running a lot. Pioli said:
"In Bologna, the team ran more than since I arrived, and we're not yet at our physical best, so it means there's a lot of willingness. If we all run, I believe we have our strengths to play with. The team is coming together very well."
There's more joy now...
"Playing here at San Siro makes us very happy, and the team feels it. Last season was complicated; perhaps we had lost that joy and serenity that had always accompanied us. Now we've started again with great enthusiasm."
Will Krunic stay?
"Yes."
