Milan reconvened their Serie A campaign with a 1-1 draw at home to Napoli. After the match coach Stefano Pioli had this to say: "I was sure we would have a good performance because the team worked well during the international break. We fought against a very tough opponent and were missing important players but those who entered did it with the right attitude."
"The performances haven't been lacking, we have had some lapses in the final minutes and that's what has been costing us dearly. But now we have begun playing as a team and that's very important."
"Piatek? He worked hard for the team and had his chances and the important thing is that we continue to create. We know that for strikers this is how it goes, they go through moments. Bonaventura's recovery? He knows timing and is an intelligent player and I need players like this. Every once in a while during the reading of certain situations we make mistakes and he is essential in avoiding them. In fact I hope his physical condition allows him to play with continuity because he is one of the most important elements that we have."
"Do we need someone like Ibrahimovic? Have a good evening..."
