Milan beat Torino 1-0 this evening at the San Siro, relaunching their campaign for a spot in Europe. After the match, the first thing manager Stefano Pioli wanted to discuss was Mateo Musacchio, to which he explained: "Musacchio didn't refuse to go in, he told me he had a little problem in his calf during warming up and then I made other choices. Why did he remain in the dressing room? If you are injured, it's difficult that you can be available to enter the game in the second half. Gabbia? A great match from an interesting young player."
"I think tonight the positives are the game and the move up the table. We are finding an identity, then the standings are also relevant. We must win as many games as possible from now until May. Then we'll see where we end up. My future? Our work is designed so we are always under examination. You must demonstrate to have trust. To think about my future now is not possible. There is a lot to do in the present, we're thinking of that. Ibra was mad because we could have done better to close out the game. It's right to have the ambition to do better, like Ibra."
"I like Calhanoglu in that role there, but Paqueta can also do well there. Can he become a great player? At this point he hasn't matured to be a complete player tactically and technically, but he can become one. In five months there is no time to have a clear identity. There are changes to understand where to get better and to continue on this path."
