Pioli thinks they will be challenged in the second leg, but this game will give them confidence
2023-02-15 14:15Milan defeated Tottenham 1-0 at home in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League 1/8 final . Milan coach Pioli accepted an interview after the game.
Pioli said that they knew they were facing a strong team with good stamina and physicality, so they needed to have better possession of the ball in the second half in order to better control the game. They will face challenges in the second leg and will be under pressure away from home, but this game will give them confidence. The team has gone through a long offseason before, and Pioli doesn't like such a long offseason.
Pioli also said that the team has recovered its form. They set too high expectations for themselves and were hit after encountering difficulties at first. They are getting better now and will get back to how they like it. He saw in training that Milan had recovered.
Pioli said the team has invested in some talented young players from abroad, some of whom will obviously take some time to adapt. However, few people in Italian football have the patience to wait for players to grow. However, Pioli has never questioned his players and is always full of confidence in them.
Milan midfielder Tonali also talked about his views on this game. He said that the team met expectations in terms of game methods and game intensity. They may make mistakes at the technical level, but in any case, doing their best is what they have insisted on over the years the rules.
Regarding regret, Tonali said that if he did better last month, Milan's points situation would be different, but they need to look forward now, the past is over, and there are still many things to do next.
Tonali also said that they encountered problems in defense before, and then the three-back system gave them more confidence and a sense of security, reducing the number of shots taken by opponents and conceding goals. Kane posed a threat to them in the first half. Kane's physical fitness is very strong. This is the biggest problem they face, but they also managed to limit Kane.
