Milan and Bologna are set to face off at the Dall'Ara as Milan's coach, Stefano Pioli previewed the match in his pre-match conference. Bologna will be led by coach Sinisa Mihajlovic, and Pioli started off with his thoughts: "I know very well that Bologna is stronger since Sinisa joined and I'm looking forward to facing him and saluting him. During the summer I supported Bologna, Mihajlovic is an example of determination and will. I also supported them also for the manner the club behaved in and for the fervor that the city showed. All of our matches now carry more weight in the three points because we are looking to find our stride. The squad is well physically and tactically, we will try to bring home the three points."
"If Piatek plays tomorrow it's because I maintain he can function in the squad. The match in Parma played out because it was a particular kind of game. Piatek is a player more suited for the penalty area, while Leao moves around the pitch better. The important thing is the characteristics they bring, the player's name, unless it's Ronaldo or Messi, doesn't matter. Ibrahimovic? Christmas is on December 25, this has been discussed by you all for months. If I'm asking for a gift I'd ask for three points tomorrow."
