Live bar February 6 News In a Serie A match played in the early hours of this morning, Milan defeated Inter 2-1 away. After the game, Milan coach Pioli was interviewed by the media.
Pioli: "I smiled when I saw the way I ran over, it wasn't nice at all. But I was so happy that my thoughts were: it was my dream and my lads had this incredible mental performance to go beyond their limits. ”
"We have the same points as we did at this stage last season, so we know there's still a lot to be done. I tell the players that we have to keep believing in ourselves and if we don't believe in ourselves, then we are facing only insurmountable obstacles. We beat the best team in Serie A – the defending champions and leaders – so we proved ourselves. It's true that Inter played better in the first half, but Milan under me had a lot of courage and wasn't afraid of anyone, which wasn't even our best form. ”
"Our only defeat in 2022 is not entirely up to us (Milan lost 2-1 to Spezia), but the mental strength of the team is remarkable. Inter also beat us on counter-attack earlier this season and today we again gave them a chance with our own passing mistakes. Inter pulled back even further after half-time, they gave us the initiative and we needed more fresh blood to shake the situation, and those were Messias and Díaz. ”
'Signing Olivier Giroud and other players – like Ibrahimovic, Kyal – has come to increase the team's maturity, experience and knowledge level, which are important lessons that young players learn every day. Pioli also revealed that he made a promise before the game: "It's a bit banal, but I assure myself that if we win this game, I won't smoke my favorite Tuscan cigar for a month, which could be good for my health." ”
