In view of the match against Lazio, Stefano Pioli spoke at the press conference. For the Milan bad news immediately confirmed by the technician: “Ibrahimovic he will not be in the match, he will have to return with Benevento. Mandzukic e Leao they are playing for a starting spot. Theo Hernandez he is better, but he will have to be evaluated. In defense, however, a small problem for Tomori, Romagnoli he is better and is training continuously. We will see in the next few hours ”.
The one with the Lazio it will be a decisive match for the Champions: “We deserve it, these 32 games told us. We were stronger than all but theInter. Now we have to play our ambitions and our big goal for the last six days. We have not been lucky with the position we occupy. And we must deserve this position to the end. Tomorrow is a playoff. Head-to-head matches are worth double. And we have three. There Lazio is behind in the score and for both them and us it will be an important match for our and their future. If we win, the direct match would make us make an even more important step forward ”.
Failure without Champions? Pioli he thinks like this: “We don’t have to think in this direction. We have shown that we are strong and we have to do it until the end. I knew that seven teams were fighting and whoever fails to get there will be disappointed. Our direct rivals are all very strong. But so far we have managed to stay ahead of all of them. The team is determined and eager and wants to react immediately to the bad and undeserved defeat with Sassuolo. Now only this championship final counts. Quote 80 points for the Champions? I thought from 75 points, but we don’t make tables. Now it’s good to concentrate on every single match to give your best “.
The defeat with Sassuolo he complicated everything: “I train a very intelligent group. We all know how important the next match is and how crucial the next six matches are. We talked little about Wednesday’s match and we focused on the future. Also because if we had to play again with Sassuolo another hundred times, we would not lose anymore. There is no physical fatigue. On Wednesday we did an excellent test physically speaking, the data show. We need to be more effective in the last part of the pitch and we definitely need to improve if we want to do well in the last six races. In some moments we also took home more points than we deserved. But now it doesn’t matter anymore. What matters is that we are there and can demonstrate our values in the next six races ”.
