Pioli: Milan’s mission is to show that we’ve grown and we’ve learnt our lesson well

The thoughts of Milan's coach Stefano Pioli on the eve of Champuions league game vs Salzburg.

"AC Milan’s mission is to show that we’ve grown and we’ve learnt our lesson well. We’re aware of just how important it’d be to start the group stage in a positive manner."

"I’ll make my choices tomorrow morning when we put the finishing touches to our preparations. Today, it seemed like all the lads were feeling good. Our matches will help me make my next decisions."

"We’ve watched all Salzburg games, including the friendlies they were involved in. We believe that we’ve prepared well for the game. They move around a lot and play an attacking brand of football with players that possess quality and like to get forward. They can play short or long. They have many promising prospects in their ranks, and we need to face them with respect and determination. In terms of intensity and tempo, FC Salzburg are of a very high standard. We’ve prepared in such a way as to match their tempo and display our qualities out on the pitch. We need to play the game with real enthusiasm, as well as with awareness of our qualities and characteristics."

"We still need time to reach even higher levels; there are teams who are more ready than us to win this competition. We’ll do everything in our power to do as well as we can. We’re AC Milan, and one day we’ll aim to win it again. That’s what I wish for myself and the team; it’s where we want to be."
