Pioli: “Until 3-1 we were in the match – a heavy defeat for the way we played”

The first “Derby della Madonnina” of the season was painted “blue”, with the Inter to dissolve it Milan in “Giuseppe Meazza” with the deafening 5-1!

A heavy and historic defeat for the “rosoneri”, who for first time since 1974 they conceded five goals from the opposition. The coach of Milan, Stefano Pioli, focused on the details that decided the match, stressing that even at 3-1 his team was in the game.

“Conceding goals at times when we could have put things in order was a blow for us. We must say we were careless. We were in the game, but 3-1 cut us off. Losing the derby hurts. But I repeat, until 3-1 we were in the game. Inter were smarter in today’s match, we have to improve”first reported Stefano Pioli, who then tried to put this heavy defeat behind him and focus on the team’s next game against its opponent Newcastle at its premiere Champions League.

“The fact that we didn’t win doesn’t take away from the quality of my players. Our young footballers need time to acclimatise. It didn’t go the way we wanted, but now we’re looking at the Champions League. To do well against Newcastle is very important. The team will not have any problem from a psychological point of view, we are quite mature in this regard.”
