Stefano Pioli believes in Milan's comeback in the return match of the Europa League quarter-finals against Roma, scheduled for tomorrow.
«We will need a high-level match, greater attention to detail than last Thursday, but we believe in it. I have faith in the team because you have the means to win. I coach a mature and responsible team, they know how to interpret these matches. A match that wasn't as exceptional as the first leg didn't take anything away from us. We have to play it and win it."
And responding to De Rossi who had defined tomorrow's match as the last resort for Milan, Pioli admits that «yes, regarding tomorrow's match and to be able to go to the semi-finals. However, we will play the Champions League next year and tomorrow we will do our best. There will always be criticism, we are the same ones who went to the semi-final of the Champions League. But we raised the level and we all expected to move forward - continues the Rossoneri coach - The fact that one of the two teams in the group with us will reach the final is of little use, we have to concentrate on our Europa League. To win we must defend well, suffer when we have to; if we defend well we have a better chance of winning the match", he concludes.
