MILANO — Stefano Pioli he is the great loser among the loser, despite himself. Because he lost the derby most announced and painful, the sixth of the last six with him Inter championship as a corollary. Because he couldn’t stop it. Because he got the starting lineup wrong (this was attested by the successful and late additions of Chukwueze e Okafor). And above all because his experience at Milan it seems irretrievably over.
Pegs in the balance
But Pioli, in this long and painful final of his AC Milan cycle, also seemed to be the only one to always face criticism, forced by the demands of the role, which impose the ritual of interviews after every defeat, but still always ready to respond. This time, however, he did something new and certainly unusual: struck by evident discomfort, he dribbled the ball Press conferencelimiting himself to talking to the television (Dazn) and with the radio (I radiated) holders of the broadcasting rights. Here he expressed a vague intention to remain on the Rossoneri bench until his contract expires (2025): a burst of pride: “I felt before that Simone Inzaghi, 14 months ago, he seemed to be in difficulty and then instead he did everything he did. I’m fine, I work well and I believe the team has room for improvement. We have to finish the championship as best we can, then the evaluations will be made.”

Pioli: “Inter have been the strongest for 3-4 years”
A self-absolution also for the choice of the 3-man line in the defensive phase? “The priority in preparing the match was to try to remove the numerical parity on the two against two offensive players, to wait a little longer for Inter and then find spaces to the restarts. Then we went behind from a corner kick and suffered a few counterattacks from them, but it was inevitable that we would concede something.” Indeed, it was inevitable, he concludes, given the superiority of the opponent: “Inter have only lost one match in this championship, accidentally. For 3-4 years he has had the strongest squad in the championship, no one can have any doubts about this. We were missing in the month in which we lost two matches and drew two. However, if the difference between Inter and the other teams is so notable and if they scored 17 points more than us, it means that they are really strong and that the others must make steps forward, as we certainly do.”
