During his press conference, Fiorentina's boss, Vincenzo Italiano, spoke about the match against AC Milan:
"Pioli? He is a coach who is showing great value in Italy. Milan express themselves at great levels, there is quality in everything they do. They are an aggressive team, who dribble and know how to restart. They are a consolidated group and I think this is a large part thanks to the coach and the staff. I have great admiration for Pioli, congratulations for what he is doing and I will gladly greet him tomorrow."
On AC Milan:
"Whenever the Rossoneri have space, they can put anyone in difficulty. We must however insist on our principles, the match against Juventus was a game well-played", said Vincenzo Italiano, "Tomorrow, we will try to limit Pioli's team."
Vincenzo Italiano On his victory against Milan as a Spezia coach last season:
"That game was extraordinary, I saw it many times, even a few days ago. I think we can talk about tactics, but the big percentage of a football match is determined by the attitude you go to the pitch with. That team had a combative attitude that night. They showed great quality that night and I hope my boys can play in the same way tomorrow."
