Stefano Pioli, the coach of Milan, announced before the return match of the Champions League quarter-finals against Napoli, in which his team has a capital of 1:0.
Football players from the capital of fashion recorded two tied victories against the soon-to-be officially crowned champions of Italy.
With that, they have reason to celebrate, but the work is not done and, as they say, they will not defend themselves in Naples.
“He is a powerful, impressively effective striker. So we have to calculate all that. But at the same time, we have our way of playing football and we will not deviate from it. As could be seen in Napoli’s previous games, it is crucial that they know when to speed up and when to slow down, and that is even more important than whether Osimen will be present for them,” said Pioli.
The Rosso-Nero strategist said that he has no intention of defending himself in the upcoming match.

“It would definitely be a mistake to defend the advantage. Napoli did not lose a Champions League game at home for a long time, and they scored an average of three or four goals against teams such as Liverpool, Ajax, Rangers, Eintracht. In both previous matches, both they and we created a lot of chances, so the one who has a better realization is closer to passing”, said the coach of Milan.
As he further states, his players practiced penalties before this duel and are looking forward to the atmosphere that awaits them at the “Diego Armando Maradona” stadium.
“We practiced penalties, as is usually done in these situations. I think it’s wonderful to play in such an atmosphere. She will raise Napoli, but I expect she will raise us too”, concluded Pioli.
As a reminder, the duel between Napoli and Milan is scheduled for Tuesday starting at 21:00.
