Tuttosport reports this morning that head coach Stefano Pioli had to field players like Olivier Giroud, Tijjani Reijnders, and Christian Pulisic to come back from 3-1 down against Sassuolo, while Theo Hernandez and Rafael Leao had to stay on the pitch for the full 90 minutes in scorching heat. In short, it wasn't the quiet afternoon the Milan coach hoped for, who must thank Noah Okafor for coming off the bench and scoring the equaliser.
Although before the match Stefano Pioli assured that his and his team's thoughts were only on yesterday afternoon's game against Sassuolo, Thursday's Europa League clash against Roma heavily influenced the concentration of the Rossoneri.
At the Olimpico stadium in Rome, a different Milan will be needed, certainly less distracted in the defensive phase because yesterday too the Rossoneri wobbled way too much at the back and conceded three goals from Sassuolo, who are 19th in the league table.
