“We already know the games against Juventus and Inter will have a big impact on our future,” Pioli told DAZN, quoted Football-Italia.
“If we don’t beat Inter, then our season will be very similar to last season when we finished second and risked losing our place in the Champions League.”
“We have a way of playing and have to realize that if we want to achieve something extraordinary again, we have to give everything. I saw a lot of individual performances of a very high level today,” Pioli added.
The draw against Juventus marked the failure of Milan to rise after being defeated by Spezia. Pioli said Milan were less efficient in the final third.
“We put in the right performance for our situation and the opponent, but we lacked precision in the box. The conditions on the pitch didn’t help either because we had bad first touches, had to take extra touches to control the ball and that slowed us down.” Pioli after AC Milan drew with Juventus.
