Stefano Pioli has renewed his contract with AC Milan and has granted these words to the microphones of Milan TV:
"My photo with Messias in Madrid? It is the most beautiful because it is the latest, but I hope there are others because it means that we are doing something important."
On the preparation for the games:
"I prepare the game trying to take care of all the details with the team until a few minutes before the game. I also try to understand how they are mentally. My only ritual is coffee (smiles)."
On his habit of drinking coffee before kick-off:
"If the coffee was enough, we would win all the games (laughs). There are moments in which you have to relax, it is clear that it is difficult to do so because then the head goes to the game."
"I am a football fan. I study everything, there are many coaches from whom one takes inspiration. To propose things, however, they must first be studied and prepared. The main thing is to adapt to the qualities of my players."
On his passion:
"The bicycle is my passion, it helps me from time to time on a mental level to unload a little and always be on point at Milanello."
On the chant 'Pioli's on fire':
"I must say that it is a wonderful feeling and every time it is an extraordinary emotion. Sooner or later I will jump with the fans. It was born in the bus last year with the guys. It's very rewarding."
