Spoken at Milanello, this is what the journalist and Sky Sport correspondent, Peppe Di Stefano, had to say regarding Stefano Pioli's Milan's upcoming European challenge against Roma on Thursday at the Olimpico stadium.
These are his statements:
"It has been a disappointing performance by Milan in Europe against Roma; on Thursday, they will have to change their skin without drastically altering many players. Certainly, Fikayo Tomori will return alongside Gabbia from the start. Everyone in the group is fit except Simon Kjaer, while Pobega has returned to training with the team alongside Thiaw. In midfield, we will go with Bennacer and Reijnders, and up front, there will be room for the creativity and quality of Leao-Pulisic-Loftus and Giroud, despite the speed and quality of Chukwueze, who may be useful coming off the bench. Tomorrow, Milan will train at 12:00 at Milanello and depart at 16:30 from Malpensa, then the press conference at the Olimpico where Pioli and Rafa Leao will speak. In this final phase of the season, the Rossoneri coach will have a lot at stake; let's not invent anything when we say that the future of every coach depends on what happens on the field."
The journalist also spoke about Pioli's situation:
"The story between Pioli and Milan has created emotions, moments, and trophies, as well as a virtuous game. However, there are paths that can come to an end; I believe it will be necessary to wait and evaluate feelings and the field: Ibrahimovic will be very important; we will move towards a change, not a revolution."
