After the home success against Empoli by 1-0, Stefano Pioli released these words to Milan TV:
About the match:
"We played the game we needed to, we managed the ball and created chances, it's a pity we only scored one goal. We didn't risk anything, and some players had the opportunity to get minutes under their belts."
On the 1-0 victory:
"If you can't double up, you have to stay in the game until the end. It's an important week for us, winning today means starting it the right way. Then on Thursday, there will be another crucial match for us."
About Noah Okafor:
"We left him wide because we thought Theo could have more space. He had a good performance, worked well with the team."
On the fans:
"They have a passion and a desire to see the team perform at high levels that is contagious."
Pioli commented on Paolo Scaroni's recent statements:
"I have always worked calmly, and the club gives me the opportunity to work at my best. We are focused on finishing the season well."
On Slavia Prague:
"In the first half, we should have done more, but these are open games where maximum attention is needed. We have a match similar to Rennes ahead; they need to recover. We have a good advantage. In Europe, there are matches with many goals. We will go there to try to score more goals."
