Pioli: Start of a complicated game, we have the opportunity to reverse the outcome

“Rossoner” was defeated by 0:2 in San Siro in the first semifinal match of the Champions League.

Pioli was critical of the team's pale appearance in the first half, while in that second part the Reds recovered, but that was insufficient to restore the disadvantage.

The start of the game was very complicated, they were more precise technically and capable of winning several duels. Two goals in this way made it difficult. Then we reacted well by playing a second good part, but we didn't find a goal that would enable us to restore this score”, Pioli told “Milan TV”.

And we would like to score a goal and retake the game. Six days later we have to make a high-level field appearance. We have to play better, we have a chance to get this score back. I'm gonna talk to the team, it's normal that we're desperate. We wanted a different outcome, but we must have the desire to reverse this negative outcome. We'll start everything from the second half, where we played well”, followed by Milan's coach, who complained in reference, saying the judge had double standards in the green field.

Pioli ultimately wishes Rafael Leaon, who was absent last night for his injury, would also be available in the return fight.
