The head coach of "Milan" Stefano Pioli commented on the victory of his team in the 1st round of Serie A against "Udinese" (4:2).
Stefano Pioli— I didn't like that we conceded a goal at the beginning of the first half. We have to start games better. Then for half an hour the team acted flawlessly. We faced a very dangerous and physically strong opponent. We created a lot of moments, but there are some components that we need to understand.
Rebić can help us a lot, he is a strong player. Ante has all the characteristics to be an important player for our team. I know this, and he himself knows this. I think Ante judges himself too often by the goals scored, but with the work he has done for the team, he has certainly been very useful.
We conceded two goals from crosses. During the corner kick we played carelessly. This is a gross mistake that we need to work on. We have a very high-class opponent waiting for us next week, so we have to raise the level of our game, said Stefano Pioli.
