Stefano Pioli and his Milan squad have gotten results in their last 21 matches, with 8 victories in as many matches. Pioli spoke with the press prior to the rossoneri's upcoming match against Roma.
"Every match is important. We started well and must continue. We're taking on a strong opponent who has won 5 of their last 6 matches. An opponent that is similar to us, they confirmed a manager who did well in his first year in Italy, they started strong youngsters like Kumbulla, they signed an important player like Pedro. They're ambitious, but so are we. It will be an open match."
"We are only at the beginning, we must prepare ourselves well to overcome this difficult test. It's only another match, 3 points are available. We must try to play a technical match at a high level because our opponents have value."
On the dual between Ibra and Dzeko: "If we think about the match in June, characteristics change. Ibra and Rebic have different characteristics. Zlatan gives us many solutions, both Ibra and Dzeko are offensive registi. We must try to limit the supplies for Dzeko."
