All Milan doesn’t stop anymore; Stefano Pioli exults and Paolo Scaroni confirms it

At 50’ Fiorentina equalizes: Beltran serves Duncan who with a left-footed shot from outside the box beats Maignan. At 53’ decisive goal by Leao who in acceleration drinks both Milenkovic and Terracciano and deposits in the empty goal.
Before the match, Milan president Paolo Scaroni had armored the Rossoneri coach, speaking to the microphones of Sky Sport: “I have always said that Pioli stays because é I like coaches who win and since we are doing well I like Pioli, è all very simple. Then è a great person, full of humanità too. We are all fond of him and I hope he is a little bit fond of us too".
Pioli himself è self-confirmed in the post-match to the microphones of Sky Sport: "I have never had any doubts. Milan is not leaving. We are ambitious and we are a top club. We always fight to win and I am overjoyed at Milan. Then it depends on what will happen. We aim to finish the season well".
" I am so fond of Milan. A fantastic club. Now forò we must not think about the future, neither I nor the players. The club has to do it, to plan, to understand where to intervene to improve the team. We have an exceptional environment. Now there are several important games".
"For me, coming back to Florence è always nice. This environment has given me so much in the past, both as a coach and as a player. Today we won a difficult game, on a field where we have always suffered. I am very satisfied, especially after the breaks è difficult to find the rhythm".
"Ours è a very good moment and it has lasted for two or three months. The team is improving in compactness but also in defense. Clearly the ranking è that lì but I don't think there is a 14-point gap with Inter. It has taken the gap in some games but we in the last period are doing so well".
"In soccer you don't invent anything and you can't deny the insertion times. We changed so many players, I had to get to know them and they had to get to know me. This year we have a quality team. I think the ability of a coach is to get the players to express themselves as best they can. Some principles were not as clear as they are now".
“Leao we accompanied him. Now he is just a little short of being a champion, he is approaching it in stride. Not only in plays but also in attitudes. We rely so much on him, like PSG with Mbappè or City with Halaand. Rafa is now è a top".
