the AC Milan coach preferred to follow the Alcaraz ‘phenomenon’ rather than the Inter Milan match
THE SPORT SCAN – Even though the fight is raging between AC Milan and Inter Milan, Stefano Pioli preferred to watch the Alcatraz-Nadal clash rather than the meeting of his rival against Empoli on Friday.
AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli assured Saturday that he did not watch the victory of his title rival, Inter Milan, Friday against Empoli (4-2), preferring to follow the match of the new “phenomenonof tennis player Carlos Alcaraz.
“We know what we have to do, we are seven points short of reaching our goal, validated that we are the best in the championship“, underlined the technician rossonero in a press conference, on the eve of the trip on Sunday (8:45 p.m.) to the field of Hellas Verona for the 36th day.
His attention is entirely focused on the three remaining matches at AC Milan, he added, rather than on the course of Inter, who have temporarily returned to the lead with a one-point lead after their success.
Rather than the victory of the Nerazzurri, Pioli thus assured to have rather “reviewed our training then a great tennis match“, the one who won by the phenomenon Carlos Alcaraz in front of Rafael Nadal in the quarter-finals in Madrid.
“Pressure ? I don’t see my players either agitated or anxious. I see them motivated, we have to be focused because a comma, a period, can make the difference“, he added.
AC Milan (77 points) is guaranteed to finish champion if they take at least seven points in the last three games (Verona, Atalanta, Sassuolo), obtained in the event of a tie for a particular favorable difference with Inter (78 pts, two games remaining against Cagliari and Sampdoria).
