Stefano Pioli meanwhile spoke on the eve of the seventh-day Serie A match against Lazio. "You canò say that we are doing well. We want to find continuity to do well in the league and in the Champions League. Tomorrow è the most important game. We have always lived with great balance: the derby was not the end of our journey, but a new beginning from which to start again. Now we are not perfect, we are not flawless, but we can put in our best performance tomorrow. Leao? If one misses a pass it is not è that he must have taken the opponent underhandedly… from Rafa I expect him to miss less and less, this sì".

"We are only at the beginning of our climb. I am convinced of the quality and attitudes of my players. What I am seeing è is positive and must be carried forward with generosity, with strength, with attention. After the first stop è another season began, with games every 3 days: to stay on top you have to be strong in head, strong in organization, strong individually".
