Stefano Pioli spoke to Milan TV after the game against Atalanta to discuss the important 3 points that the boys brought home.
"We knew it was going to be a complicated game, it's nice when you prepare it in a certain way and the game goes in that direction. I have to congratulate my players, it was the seventh game in 20 days. A heavy win against a very strong opponent. Playing so well against a high level opponent means we are growing. We had never played so well against Atalanta."
On Kessié:
"Kessié's performance was judged more due to his contractual situation. I know Franck's worth, he must not confuse us and he does not confuse me. Up until now, he wasn't in the best condition for obvious reasons, but he's a strong player. I don't have 11-12 starters but I have a lot of them, there is competitiveness in this team."
Zapata's foul on Messias:
"I was sorry, but it went well and that's okay. Those in charge will see the situations in which they could have decided better."
On Tonali:
"He has to grow a lot, he has incredible means. We are talking about a 21-year-old boy who has a world ahead of him in terms of footballing maturity. Everyone must continue with this attitude, always putting the team in front, and if we do this then we can continue to grow and become even stronger."
