Milan coach Stefano Pioli previewed the upcoming match with Lazio in his press conference, discussing the work that his team has put in to get to this point in the season. A difficult test awaits them in their next match: "We are very proud of what we are doing. There is a club who backs us and gives us all the conditions we need to work at our best. I am proud to be a part of this club and coach these lads. We are concentrated on the very important match tomorrow."
"Today Tonali and Rebic are more or less healthy, the decision will come tomorrow morning. I don't believe that the cupboard is bare. I continue to learn even more that the club has given me a very capable squad. We are all feeling the absence of 5 or 6 players, but I hope after the Christmas break to have some players back. The club and I are in total agreement. If there is the chance to improve the team in the January window we will do it, with professional, hard-working players. We want to get better, the technical side will provide player who have the right charactaristics and the right mindset."
