Pioli after Sassuolo v Milan: “Too much frenzy, but the derby will be different”

The Rossoneri coach identifies the cause of the half misstep with Sassuolo: “There was a lack of clarity, from the 70th minute we played as if there were only one minute left before the final whistle”

Stefano Pioli cannot be satisfied after Milan’s draw in Reggio Emilia with Sassuolo.

We started very well in the first half and found good combinations, but when Sassuolo lowered we had too much frenzy and little quality in the movements. find rhythm “. On the turnover, the Rossoneri coach confirms the goodness of his choices: “I have to start managing the forces of the players. Today we didn’t have Rebic and Origi.”

Rush

Milan’s problem was the desire to unblock the match by hastening the games: “From the 70th minute onwards we played as if there were a minute left, but there was time – he reflects -. We want to win games but we don’t have to be frenzied. We have verticalized a little too much and a team like ours must be able to work with quality, when the game changes. It was a match with many interruptions, with many half-fouls whistled “.

Towards the derby

Head already turned to the next, very important championship commitment: “The boys are already aware of the difficulties we have had today and it is an important aspect in view of the preparation of the derby”. On Saturday against Inter, Pioli expects “a completely different game. Today I would have liked to do a few more rotations but I missed some players. The derby is the derby. The rivalry that exists with Inter goes beyond of the ranking “.
