Pioli spoke to Sky after the game against Benevento. He had this to say about Rafael Leao:
"Leao has enormous potential. I'm glad he's playing with more continuity. The team did well despite one less player. It is a heavy victory."
"We don't look at the results of other matches. We weren't happy with the approach. But we reacted well. All victories are important to us. We must continue like this. Tonali? I hugged him. He was sorry for making a mistake. He will learn from it."
"Favorites against Juventus? No. Juventus, Inter and Napoli are the strongest teams in the league. Juventus have won nine consecutive league titles. It won't be an easy match. The Scudetto? We will look at the ranking in April. We don't think about it now."
"Our secret is the intensity and spirit of our kids. Leao? When he has the ball he lights up. But even better in the spaces he would become a champion."
