Stefano Pioli, coach of Fiorentina, made significant statements regarding the match against AC Milan, which ended in a defeat for his team. After his side’s 3-0 win in the Europa League, Pioli commented that, despite Milan’s opening goal, his team never felt they were truly at risk against the Rossoneri. According to his point of view, Fiorentina maintained control of the situation and was not pressed as much as they could have been by the opposing team.
However, Pioli’s assessment appears to contrast with the observations of several experts and fans, who believe that Milan, especially after the introduction of Santiago Gimenez, displayed an extra gear in the attacking department. Indeed, this maneuver led to many chances, including Rafael Leão’s equalizer and an important save by De Gea on Gimenez.
The frustration of the Viola coach is understandable considering the difficult period Fiorentina is facing. However, many argue that while he has tried to defend his team, the reality is that Milan played solidly and organized during the match. It’s interesting to note how Pioli’s statements may reflect not only his strategic delicacy but also an attempt to maintain pressure in an already tense environment.
