MilanNews writes how Pioli’s team are at the top of the table, 3 points ahead of Napoli and 6 above Inter (who have a game in hand) with eight rounds of the season left. While not showing their full ability, the Rossoneri stuck in there against Walter Mazzarri’s side – who are battling relegation themselves – to score a winner in the second half.
Pioli had to try and find a way to win the game during a night in which Olivier Giroud and Rafael Leao were quiet. The strong mentality that he has imprinted on this team means that all players believe they can be decisive, with even Pierre Kalulu scoring against Empoli in the game before.
After Covid, injuries and no new arrivals in January, it is a testament to Pioli’s work that these things have not affected Milan’s title push, in addition to the contract situations of Kessie and Romagnoli plus other distractions.
Pioli deserves praise for the excellent performance of the team, because he is the main man who in the long run makes the difference. After the international break, the quest for two trophies resumes.
