Milan, Pioli: "Management and I are working together. I want 18 starters."

Milan manager Stefano Pioli is preparing his squad for the upcoming Europa League preliminary matches, as well as the Serie A season. He spoke on the team's activity during the summer market with Milan Tv.

"I certainly preferred the experience from the last months. I know the team and this is an advantage that we must take advantage of. I know that the players can give a lot, and they know what I want. It was a unique summer, we had little time to prepare for the new season and we must take the best advantage of the time available to us."

"There's great harmony with the management. We are all working to try and have clear ideas, we know where the team can improve. The club is trying to strengthen the roster. The market will unfortunately be long, but when we are sharing our intentions, we can work toward our best. It's important to have as many starters as possible, not only 12 or 13, but 17 to 18. It'll be important if we arrive at the group stage and for the rest of the season to have a complete roster. This will be a busy season and it's natural to want strong players and raise the squad's level."
