In addition to the press conference, Stefano Pioli also presented the match against Borussia Dortmund tomorrow to Sky Sport Italia:
"Tomorrow, a team performance will be needed, of spirit. The opponent is strong, and the goal is important. All matches can change the season; our objective is to be competitive in both the league and in Europe. Tomorrow will be an important, almost decisive step, to face with the right mentality."
The AC Milan coach, Pioli, continued:
"I have always given a lot of importance to how all groups behave. It's easy to be united when things go well, less so in difficulties. I appreciate the behavior of my players and my club. Giroud? He's one of the structural parts, a great player and person. That's how you behave in delicate moments."
What is a match to draw inspiration from?
"Surely the one against PSG at home, where we had a top-level game. We had trust and the desire to suffer, elements that will also be needed tomorrow."
Thoughts on Francesco Camarda?
"I liked how my players supported him in this first experience. It was a sign of unity. He's doing what I expected: not changing anything compared to the previous days. We need to be good at keeping it that way. He will need patience and the ability to make mistakes to grow."
Pioli concluded:
"Two or three absences can be compensated for, but if they reach 5-6, it can be decisive. We have paid for situations in the league, especially in the second halves, with a wrong mental attitude. We made mistakes, and we're working on them."
