AC Milan head coach, Stefano Pioli, has spoken to the microphones of DAZN, like Davide Calabria and also like Olivier Giroud.
Here are his statements on his summer:
"It was a beautiful summer with my family and friends. I saw many guys in the Milan shirt asking me for a photo. It was all really beautiful and exciting. This enthusiasm gave me pleasure. We involved all the Rossoneri people who needed to experience a moment like this."
On Milanello:
"It's a fantastic environment, it's ideal to work because there is everything. And it's also a beautiful place to see."
On the new season:
"It is unique and particular. We will play many games between now and November. It will be an intense season, it will be necessary to prepare well. The first three months will have a great impact on the rest of the season. We have to work at our best."
On the decisive moment:
"I would say the derby in the second leg of the league. We managed to overturn it and it was important not only for the standings, but also because it gave us a great injection of confidence. From then on we had a very high level second round."
Stefano Pioli on the team:
"We have to expect the best from everyone, including me. You play on Sunday for how you train during the week and you have to train during the week for how you want to play on Sunday. We have very clear playing principles, our game is very based on intensity. Intensity, rhythm, quality and talent must never be missing in any moment of training. I don't think we were the best, but we were the best in the final rush of the season. We deserved the Scudetto."
On his moment:
"I feel good. I have great enthusiasm. I like what I do and I like doing it especially here. I have always said that when I entered Milanello I immediately felt something special."
On the fans chanting "Pioli on fire":
"It is beautiful. It is very exciting. It gives me great pleasure. I always struggled to hold back when I heard that chorus, I only let myself go in the last match at San Siro. It was right to celebrate with them too even if we still lacked the last step."
On the current moment of AC Milan:
"The credibility around the team has changed, it is evident. Despite our positive results, no one believed in us. I often repeated it to my boys. Many put others as favourites for the Scudetto and they said about us that we lacked experience or cynicism in some matches. A coach must be able to give certain motivations. Success can change people, but it hasn't happened to us. On the contrary, we understood how important it is to prepare well, how difficult it is to win and what it serves to stay at the top. I see the boys even more ready and more prepared. I am convinced that our cycle has just begun."
Pioli on his mother:
"She keeps everything inside, but she is proud and happy with this Scudetto. It has been an engaging year for everyone. I don't think she will come to San Siro, she is one who cannot manage to see the last minutes of home games."
