Pioli said that they did not play their due strength and need to improve their performance

In the 19th round of Serie A in the 2022-23 season , AC Milan defeated Lazio 0-4. Coach Pioli summarized the game after the game.


Pioli said that they need to return to Milanello as soon as possible to make better preparations for the next game. They are obviously not playing their due strength . This includes all aspects of psychological state and tactical arrangements. They should keep silent and train hard to speak for themselves with results.


Pioli also said that they haven't played well in the past two weeks. This situation is a bit subtle and they need to improve their performance. Although they didn't create very good scoring opportunities in the game, they still had some opportunities. They could have created a greater threat to their opponents. Pioli believes that their main reason is that they do not have enough control over the ball, because if they cannot get the ball, they will lose their previous sharpness, and teammates should maintain a closer relationship on the field. The way to improve the situation now requires the cooperation of all players.


Pioli said that the players did not lose their position in the first two conceded goals of the game, but failed to judge the opponent's movements, so they need to cooperate more closely. Because if this continues, the team will be greatly affected psychologically. Good results give the team morale a boost, while bad results create stress and problems for the team. They have conceded the first goal in the last four games, including the league and the Italian Super Cup. Next, they need to improve this problem.


Regarding the 12 points behind Naples , Pioli said that they need to work hard to get back to the state first, which is urgent. Their performance in the past two weeks of the game has not met expectations at all, and they have not shown their due strength. Pioli just wants to lead the team to prepare hard. He feels that with his support, the players will regain their desire and show competitiveness.


Regarding the rumors of the introduction of Zaniolo, Pioli expressed that he was not clear, and he was more willing to talk more about the game.
