Milan’s Stefano Pioli praises his men after Roma win

Milan manager Stefano Pioli reacted to his side’s win over Roma in tonight’s Olimpico showdown.

The Italian technician praised his men for their performance following an impressive 2-1 victory in ten men.


“It’s an important victory,” he told DAZN. “We put in a great performance even though we suffered in the final stages of the match.”

“I wanted to make the changes sooner but I didn’t have enough time. I think this is the perfect way to start the season even though it wasn’t simple,” he added.

“I wasn’t afraid of Roma coming back from 2-0 because I saw my team maintain their position on the pitch despite suffering a bit. We can improve but we started the league campaign very well. I’m satisfied.”
