Pioli: ‘De Ketelaere ready to start as a starter’

After the equalizer in Bergamo Stefano Pioli looks ahead. Starting from tomorrow’s match against Bologna in which the coach will launch De Ketelaere as a starter: “I trust him, he is a player with potential and he is ready to start from the beginning. However, you have to give him time because he comes from another team and a different league. I’m sure he will give us a lot of satisfaction. He should be given some time, but he is surprising me. His time may have come ”.

The stop – or rather the slowdown – in Bergamo did not leave any waste, on the contrary. And tomorrow’s commitment with Bologna will be the first opportunity to make up for it without. “I’m interested in the mentality of the team and the team is not happy because they didn’t win. Tomorrow it will be a complicated match against an opponent who will play to put us in difficulty ”. The plan is clear, starting with the goals conceded and those missed: “Three goals taken? We need to improve there too, against Udinese we got two bad goals and then an own goal. Whoever takes a few goals has a better chance of winning. In Bergamo we had to make better use of the chances from the goal “

On Leao and Bennacer, at the center of Maldini and Massara’s work for renewals, he specifies: “Leao? I have no other thoughts but to prepare game after game. Rafa must think he can continue to improve. I’m not coaching a player thinking I can lose him, he’s working well and willingly ”. And the same goes for Bennacer: “I never had any doubts about his qualities, he presented himself well and worked well. He is putting out what he works for. He has the qualities to be a complete midfielder ”.
