the Milan beats Torino on penalties and flies to the quarterfinals, at the end of the match coach Rossoneri Stefano pioli comments a Rai Sport: “We are a team that knows how to fight, knows how to play. It was a difficult game as we knew it, also because of the quality of our rivals who dribbled better than Saturday. We had opportunities to avoid extra time and penalties, but I think it’s a victory desired and deserved.
Owner of Ibrahimovic? I spoke with him, we wanted to give him more time than the ten minutes of the championship, because of his characteristics it was better to start than to do half an hour in the second half and risk extra time as it happened. It was a good race, these 45 ‘will help him improve to be in the best possible condition in the next match of the championship.
If I feel that I have made a personal qualitative leap? In my opinion, you can see that I’m fine here in Milan. They put me in a position to work in the best possible way and to form a group of players that makes me proud. When you are well and so happy, it is easier to transmit serenity. I know that I coach a strong team, I have to lead it as correctly as possible.
I think it is a sign of the mental strength of the team, of competing and knowing how to interpret them. Today we were the team for the full 120 minutes. We risk little and still create a lot. It was expected not to reach extra time, but what counts is the presence of the team on the pitch, the desire to play serious games. We must continue like this.
Is public consecration missing? We miss the audience so much. Perhaps at first the absence of an audience took pressure off such a young team, but for some time now I have believed that with the fans it would be more beautiful and passionate. We have fans who last year were satisfied with normal performances, today they would join us and make a further difference. It is not easy, I have to congratulate my players because entering to warm up without even a fan and finding encouragement means that they are an ambitious, willing team that knows they have quality. We must continue like this, with this desire to play together and give results.
Penalty skills? Without specific training, I think penalties are difficult to train. It is one thing to put them in training, another is to do it in decisive situations. Within the fact of scoring penalties is the quality of my players but also the mental aspect, the desire to do well and win. Many times I have been asked about the game at the turning point, for me the Rio Ave game was: we went to the Europa League, it allowed me to give European experience to many players.
Inter-Juve? I hope to do well in Cagliari, which is a difficult match. I’ll watch it, like I’ll watch the derby on Friday night because it’s interesting from a tactical point of view. Then we have to think about our careers and score as many points as possible.
Donnarumma Market and Renovation? When you sign Gigio, I don’t know, you don’t have to ask me. In the market, if there is an opportunity to improve the departments, everything is open, we will see if we can take advantage of any situation ”.
