AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli believes that his side are ‘concentrated’ and ready to face Genoa at San Siro this evening.

Pioli spoke to DAZN a few minutes before kick-off, and his comments were relayed by MilanNews.

What faces did you see when you arrived here at San Siro?

“Concentrated, as they should be. We have an important match against an opponent who are doing good, who are calm. Sometimes serenity allows you to express yourself in the best possible way. So we are focused because we have to do well.”

Today there is no Gudmundsson…

“He is a quality player who has done very well, who varies a lot, can play between the lines and insert himself. However, Genoa are a team that hold the pitch well, take up good positions, have two attackers, one of whom is very fast and the other is very good in the area. We will have to be careful in our defensive phase.”

What do you expect from San Siro today?

“We have to play a real, serious game and try to win it. I’m sure our fans will support us when they see the right attitudes.”
