After making his debut on the Rossoneri's bench with a 2-2 draw at home against Lecce, Milan's coach Stefano Pioli is ready to go again, as his team prepares to face Roma at the Stadio Olimpico. The manager discussed the criticism towards some of the players and the possible changes to the lineup in the pre-match press conference: "The criticism of Suso? If you hit a player, you hit me and, above all, Milan. We don't want to take any part in the trials that people do on social networks. We are united , we are working to reach important objectives, to be a team. Being a team means to work hard for your teammate. As long as Suso gives me more guarantees than other players, he will play - he is fit. That applies to everyone, not only to him."
"Tomorrow we will play the best possible squad. Leao and Piatek have different characteristics, but they can play together, we just need to find the right balance. Calhanoglu? He has great qualities, I liked his performance against Lecce not only because he scored the goal, but also for the intensity of his game. Bennacer? He is a very good player, he has quality. His time will come soon, I count on him", continued Pioli.
Finally, the coach discussed the experience of his team, one of the youngest squad in the serie A this season: "The club made clear choices this summer, they bought players that are worthy to be at Milan. The youngsters are the players born from 2000 on, we are not an inexperienced team. Leao may be a less experienced player because he is at his first season in Serie A, but the others have experience, not just because of their age but also for the experience they got playing in Serie A", the coach concluded.
