Stefano Pioli analyzes the performance of his side Inter Milan after a 2-2 draw against AC Milan during an interview with Premium Sports:
“We did not deserve defeat but we are happy to have achieved a positive result in the end. We had a good test, but there are positive things and also some things we need to improve and grow. In the first half we played just us, we took a few re-starts but we had balance. We cannot be perfect, but the team has put their heart as I requested. We have to remain more compact. I liked the urge to go to attack your opponent, even if in some cases we have exceeded. We must have a single idea and the desire to do, but today I got the answers I expected.”
The transfer market? “The improvement of my team will first of all be through hard work, because I have a team with great technical players. We have to have more malice and determination, we need to improve the quality in the desire. As for the goals conceded we conceded very little, but we were immediately penalized, it takes more balance because, for example in the first goal we were unbalanced and had to do better.”
Gabigol? He has excellent quality and is working well.
Have I called some former Nerazzurri coach? “I have a great relationship with my colleagues but by habit never call, I prefer to take my own feelings, I found a great atmosphere and lots of support, I’m sure we will do a great job together. I arrived at Inter at the right time in my career, then for the fact of being always Nerazzurri can have special reasons, but the important thing is that we give the highest ever. If I thought of it before, I believe it even more after tonight.”
The Champions League? “It will be a difficult run but the championship is long and the points available are many. We have to be strong and keep pedaling.”
