Milan will be coached this weekend for the first time by Daniele Bonera while Stefano Pioli remains positive for Covid-19. The former rossoneri player spoke in the pre-match press conference ahead of the fixture against Napoli: "I remember the victories fondly. In 2010 we had a difficult match against Napoli, we won, then we all know how it finished. I am very happy to return to the San Paolo and to be facing Rino as an opponent. He was a friend of mine while we played, and he continues to be one away from the game. We might chat a bit after the match."
"I will not be alone out there, I have always been in close contact with Pioli. During the match it could create confusion so we will have a meeting pre-match, then if there are important things we will check in at halftime. The players will still give their all, the fact it's me and not Pioli is negligable."
"Rebic and Leao are important players, Rebic is not at 100%, the elbow injury is still limiting some of his motion. We have to face the injury with Leao, but we have other solutions there. We are very happy with Calhanoglu's performances. In regards to his contract I don't wish to discuss it but he is one of those who yesterday let me know that he cares about this shirt. We know Ibrahimovic's importance, the team has grown in regards to responsibility and work ethic thanks to him."
