DBasia.news AC Milan coach, Stefano Pioli has asked the public to think clearly after his team continued to lag behind the leaders of the standings, Inter Milan. According to Pioli, this is due to the lack of availability of strikers.
Inter Milan won an important 2-1 victory against Torino. On the other hand, Milan defeated Napoli 1-0 at the San Siro. Now, the two teams are nine points apart. In fact, previously the Rossoneri are in the lead from their younger brother.
“Inter Milan are getting a lot of momentum. They have won a lot. Inter have become very strong after being knocked out of the Champions League,” Pioli told Sky Sports.
“We are not looking forward or back. We are thinking of scoring as many points as possible,” said the former Fiorentina tactician.
When asked why, Pioli cited injuries to the attackers as an excuse. Indeed, this season Milan’s strikers took turns in the treatment room.
Pioli assessed that other clubs such as Inter Milan and Juventus will also experience difficulties if the attackers are injured.
“We played a lot of games without Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Ante Rebic, without many strikers. Trying to imagine Inter Milan without Lautaro Martinez, Lukaku and Sanchez or Juventus without Cristiano Ronaldo, Paulo Dybala and Alvaro Morata.”
Even though he continues to fail to obtain full points, Pioli thinks there is still hope. One thing that is important is to keep the focus match-by-game.
“Standings? We missed our chances. Now we have to think about the next game in the Europa League. Then, the next opponent is Fiorentina,” stated Pioli.
In fact, Stefano Pioli was predicted to be the coach who will bring Milan to the path of achievement. In fact, Il Diavolo Rosso canceled his plan to appoint Ralf Rangnick as a tactician as he was impressed by Pioli’s performance.
