Stefano Pioli when he first joined Milan:

I’ll have to work on everything, from the players’ heads to their positioning on the pitch. The next few days will be vitally important in order to be ready as soon as possible for the game against Lecce.

1/8
I don’t concern myself with numbers, what’s important is having a precise identity. I’ll look more at Lecce than Milan’s games in the past, because we’ll be missing several players who are with their national teams. We have to prepare the best we can. This game is must-win.

2/8
I always think positive. We’re AC Milan and we will always fight to get the best results. There are difficulties that exist but they must be faced and overcome through hard work with quality and intensity. We have to become a united and cohesive team as soon as possible.

3/8
I feel like a teacher, my goal will be to bring the best out of every one of my players. No one’s spot is guaranteed, everyone will have to be involved and give their all every day. We have the ingredients to make it happen from the club to the facilities to the players.

4/8
I’ve watched every Milan game this season. I’m very demanding with myself and with my players, I won’t tolerate any lack of desire or ambition. Only through work and sacrifice can you achieve great things.

5/8
Together we will have to give everything, because there’s also almost an entire league campaign where we can bounce back. Time may be an enemy but it’s also an ally and we have to make the most out of every single moment we have.

6/8
We have to fight for Champions League qualification. It will take courage, and we’re well aware that there are several other strong teams competing for the same thing.

7/8
I have a lot of respect for the fans and they have the right to criticise. But for me this will be an extra incentive to do even better.

8/8
