Milan, Pioli: "Now is not the time to think about the table"

Milan's result came up on the side of defeat against Napoli, the match ended 1-0 to the visitors. The hosting rossoneri allowed critical ground to Inter in the race for the top of the league, widening the gap below their rivals. After, coach of Milan Stefano Pioli spoke to Sky to discuss te match: "The team was competitive, we came against a quality opponent, the first half was a complicated one for us. The goal we allowed came when we were the stronger side."

"We lost a chance to complete an exception week but we didn't come out with the necessary performance. We need to think about the next match and not who we have in front of or behind us in the table. Inter has been very strong with less games on their calendar. Theo incident? The penalty was more certain than not, and a positive call there would have helped."

"There are a lot of missing players, players who are important for technical and temperamental purpose. We have played many matches with no striker, there are differences in what we can do in the area, just imagine Inter with no Lukaku, Lautaro, Sanchez or Juve with no Chiesa, Morata, Ronaldo."
