Pioli： I don’t know whether CDK will stay in the team next season; We represent the city of Milan

Live on May 21st, Beijing time, in the early morning of May 21st, in the 36th round of Serie A, AC Milan beat Sampdoria 5-1 at home. After the game, coach Pioli was interviewed.

Pioli said: "It’s good for us to have a game to play, because we have to get rid of the negative impact of the Champions League elimination. We scored a lot of goals in this game, which will only help us move forward in Serie A.. We still have two games to play this season, and then we will get the final result. Obviously, our performance in the Champions League group stage exceeded expectations, and we were eliminated in the group stage last year. On the other hand, our performance in the league failed to meet expectations.

"Our performance in the league was too unstable and we didn’t get many victories like this game. Next we will play against Juve, and we will try our best to prepare and remember that when we play beautiful football, we can do well. In the past two seasons, our journey has been extraordinary, far exceeding anyone’s expectations. We turned the balance sheet positive, helped a young team grow and won the league title, and also entered the semi-finals of the Champions League.

"It’s true that we represent Milan. We should be competitive in Italy and Europe. We have raised our standards, but some mistakes in Serie A this season have affected our position. I am proud of the decision made by the club, the board of directors and my players, because I know we are trying to improve ourselves. I believe we will learn more from this season than last season, because difficulties will help you become mature and understand things better.

"Gill is a strong player and the team has a solid foundation. The club has done a good job in renewing players’ contracts. We must also remember that there are no substitute players now, and everyone needs to contribute. I am proud of what we have been doing. The peak is beautiful and the trough is painful, but we know what we want to do and who we are, and we will continue to grow and make our fans happy. The team has had ups and downs this season, but the fans have always been positive. They have always stood by us and performed impeccably.

"I don’t know whether moral Kate Lare can stay in the team next season. We haven’t discussed the details yet. People forget too quickly how our young players struggled at the beginning, such as Tonali and Leo. Every player who comes to Milan needs time to realize what it means to play in such a stadium full of expectations and atmosphere. It takes time and patience, and we have both.

"My goal is to change this team."
