Milan: Stefano Pioli responds dryly to criticism

Reduced by the sound defeat in the Super Cup, Milan will face Lazio on Tuesday: “These are two teams that try to dominate the game. We will have to be more dominant than them. They have quality players, to let Lazio have the ball of the game would mean allowing these players to put us in trouble,” Pioli said in a press conference.

The Rossoneri are going through a difficult time but the Rossoneri helmsman tries to keep calm: “A team does not lose its identity in 2-3 bad games. We have struggled to develop our situations, but the identity is there and we will be able to put it on the field as early as tomorrow. My players are not bad, they deserve my trust and respect.”

“The situations to improve are tactical, technical and mental. The most important aspect is mental. It is good to remember how we managed to win last year in Rome, going through difficulties but keeping balance and lucidity until we won the game at the end,” Pioli concluded.
