"The moment we are going through è delicate and we can always do better, but a reaction like the one we had today è important – è Pioli's analysis to the microphones of 'DAZN' -. We struggled so much to achieve an important result, and we sacrificed so much to get it. We have worked on pride, so by necessity we have to fight and do well in these last games. We owe it to ourselves and to Milan".

" È it is clear that it is the results that determine the judgments, but I appreciated the team spirit,” Pioli continued about the Milan team that faced Juventus. “In the first half we did very well, in the second half they crushed us but we defended well. I am very satisfied, then we try to do well in all matches. In fact I haven’t read anything for a long time, we need concentration to finish second in the league. And we want to succeed".

"Milan’s season could have been better, and I myself may have made mistakes. Forò although we have so many points less than Inter, the others are worse than us. They have been exceptional, we have had to change a lot but we have the potential to be protagonists", Pioli stressed.
