Milan secured qualification to the quarter-finals of the Italian Cup against Genoa. A success achieved with difficulty, as the red and blacks suffered a lot, even touching the extra time, a moment in which Pioli’s supporters overthrew Shevchenko’s team.
At the end of the match that was won 3-1, the Italian coach, Stefano Pioli appeared dissatisfied, but admitting that the problem started with him. He stated that he had not done a good job with the starting lineup and the team lacked energy at the start of the match.
The first half, according to the Italian coach, did not go well at all, not only because of the goal conceded, but more about the mentality shown by the players on the field. Something which according to the coach will be studied in detail so as not to be repeated.
Qualification was necessary and this was accepted by Pioli, who was happy with the result and the advancement to the quarterfinals of the Cup. The 56-year-old went further regarding the performance of defender Theo Hernandez, claiming that the Frenchman is going through an excellent form and that he is helping the team to have a progressive growth.
In the end, he praised Rafael Leao’s grin, who, although he started from the bench, gave the right clue to the meeting and his teammates. In the quarterfinals, Milan will host the winner of the Lazio-Udinese pair, with the meeting to be played on January 18.
