“Inside this game there was a lot of motivation, especially finding the third consecutive victory in the league.”

Suffering not a little, in the presence of a Verona that seems already regenerated by the Bocchetti cure, Milan found three golden points, very important not to lose ground to Napoli and Atalanta, who do not miss a beat. The hero of the evening was Sandro Tonali, author of the goal of the definitive 1-2, but the Rossoneri coach Stefano Pioli got important answers also from another player, called into question by the coach in the usual post-match interview, released for the occasion to DAZN.

“Origi is well at last, he got rid of the bad injury that was blocking him: he did not feel free, loose. He finally made the left-footed shot, it’s an important signal for him. We have two center forwards that we can alternate. At last Rebic has also recovered completely, now I will have to give minutes to Messias as well,” the Parma coach began.

There was no shortage of remarks about the ‘newcomers,’ some of whom did not fully convince: “Certainly for Adli it was not an easy game. They mark almost exclusively man-to-man in all areas of the field. It is the first from the start, some difficulties are to be expected. Thiaw, Vranckx and Dest arrived not even two months ago, they are young guys coming from different leagues. They have great potential and great desire to work. I am sure they will be ready before long.”

“Inside this game there was a lot of motivation, especially finding the third consecutive win in the league that had not yet succeeded. And the desire to continue to do well on the road. Now we will have a full week to recover energy and work well, we will have time to prepare for seven games in twenty days. Definitely it was the right win at the right time, it will allow us to prepare well for the next tour de force.”

Finally, a wish for the next decisive matches: “I hope to recover Mike Maignan, Simon Kjaer, and Charles de Ketelaere during the week, because playing so much often mental energies are hard to recover, so I need a lot of players,” he concluded.
