Stefano Pioli has no doubts: “Negative moment behind us.”

The words of Stefano Pioli after the victory against Empoli'Empoli

Stefano Pioli commented to the microphones of Dazn on the round victory of Milan, which è imposed itself with a dry 3-0 on the field of Empoli: "We have to be always careful, throughout the match. In the second half we conceded something: that is why I kept calling my players back. We come from experiences where on 0-2 at the end of the first half we lost points, but today the attitude è was the right one. Definitely positive performance".

"We need a significantly better turnaround than last year's turnaround. We definitely need to do better this year. We threw away points, but now we want to get back to playing the way we know how to play" added the Rossoneri coach.

"I think that the negative moment is behind us – he then stressed -. But è it is useless to think about what we could do because there are still so many games and so many possibilities for this season to be positive as well. We are growing and we are playing at a good level. Now we have Atalanta in the cup, a competition we care about and we will give our best".

Great performance by Theo Hernandez in the role of central defender: "Theo è very strong, endowed with intelligence on the field and physicality" that few have in the world. He is applying himself with an intensity and focus as a central defender that he did not put on the field at times as a fullback. He is performing at a very high level, today he did not make a single mistake and put in several positive patches. I think it is right to continue like this at this moment".

"He has to score, he has to fill the area, he has insertion time, quality, technique. He has to aim not to say double digits, but he has to be inside the area, score also with his head, go one on one. He has the qualities. But all of our midfielders can score more goals" he commented on Loftus-Cheek.
