AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli has asked for determination from his side against a difficult opponent in Lecce.
Milan have had a mixed start to 2023 as they won against Salernitana to begin the new calendar year but then surrendered a two-goal lead against Roma and then were dumped out of the Coppa Italia by 10-man Torino.
Tonight presents an opportunity to get back on track in the league though and climb into outright second place after Juve’s loss against Napoli, but they run into a Lecce side that have beaten Atalanta and Lazio in their last two home games.
Before the match against Lecce, Stefano Pioli spoke to DAZN to discuss the game at the Stadio Via del Mare, with his comments relayed by MilanNews.
On the current moment: “The team needs to be determined. I saw this in the boys and I expect this today. It will be difficult against an opponent who is doing well, we have to do better than in the last two games.”
On training: “The most important match is today’s. The Supercoppa arrives in four days, now we’re just thinking about today’s match.”
On the season: “We only have to think about raising our level and our path. It’s too early to take stock, there are still many games. Let’s just think about today’s match.”
