Stefano Pioli tough on critics of Charles De Ketelaere

Milan will take on Juventus at the Meazza on Saturday at 6 p.m. “I believe that within the league there are 2-3 matches that weigh more beyond the three points, and tomorrow’s match has an important specific weight because of the value of the opponents, because of the fact that Juve will be fighting for the Scudetto,” Stefano Pioli said in a press conference.

Criticism of Charles De Ketelaere has multiplied in recent weeks: “Charles’ path is the right and correct one: when a player has talent, is intelligent and has availability I believe he has a great future. I believe he has a great future. I remember the Leao of three years ago, the Tonali of the first year: many were ready to criticize them and question their qualities. De Ketelaere is a talented player, he needs time and adaptation to be more and more decisive. But the path is the right one. Is the player a mystery? That’s your problem, not mine. He is not a mystery to me.”

“Usually Juve approach matches well with a high center of gravity and then lower themselves later. Allegri is very clever, I don’t know whether to believe all the way what he said in the conference. We think about our characteristics: tomorrow it will be worth a lot not to make mistakes in simple things.”

Closing dedicated to the infirmary: “There is no news. Only Theo should return. But I won’t say anything more: last time I said Origi was playing and then in the evening he didn’t play. Theo if he confirms yesterday’s condition today, he will be available tomorrow.”
