JAKARTA - AC Milan coach, Stefano Pioli has big ambitions to bring his team to win the Italian League title for the 2021/2022 season. To make it happen, Pioli is aware of the many pressures that come from various directions that will hit the movement of his team.

Therefore, Pioli did not hesitate to demand the Rossoneri squad to continue to fight and exert their maximum ability until the end of the competition.

"We never rule anything out, let's play every game as if it really matters and then see where we end up," Pioli said.

The Rossoneri themselves currently sit at the top of the Italian League standings with 66 points from 30 matches. The results were collected from a record of 20 wins, six draws and four defeats.

Milan's score achievement is three points adrift of Napoli in the second seat and six points from their arch-rivals, Inter Milan who sits in third place.

To truly secure the Italian League winning trophy this season, Theo Hernandez and his team-mates still have eight games left to play.

If until the end of the schedule Milan are still at the top, it will automatically make them champions. Where the victory will be the 19th championship trophy which also breaks the fast of the Italian League title for the last decade.

Regarding the team's appearance that must be maximized, Pioli explained that the presence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Olivier Giroud in the team's dressing room had a big impact on their squad. The reason is, a big name with a lot of experience from the two attackers can increase the confidence of the young I Diavolo Rosso players.

"Milan need everyone. Ibra and Giroud know what it means to win and the sacrifices it takes to achieve great results. I think this team has great potential," continued the 56-year-old coach.

In addition to being chasing the Scudetto title, Milan is also still likely to win the Coppa Italia title. The team from the Italian fashion city is still competing in the competition by entering the semifinals against eternal rivals Inter Milan.

On the other hand, Pioli highlights how he feels at home when he is at Milanello, the Rossoneri's training centre. The former coach of SS Lazio, Fiorentina and Palermo is also eager to write a new page in Milan's history.

Furthermore, regarding the revival of the team, apparently it was not only the figures of Pioli, Ibrahimovic, and Giroud who played an important role. Technical director and living legend of the club, Paolo Maldini is said to be the mastermind behind all the performances of the Red-Blacks including creating the ideal team environment.

"I am lucky enough to talk to him (Paolo Maldini) every day, he is an indispensable reference. He is a player, and a person who perfectly embodies the values of the club," explained Pioli.

The current Italian League competition will be included in the holiday schedule due to international matches being held for a week. After that, Milan will step on the gas pedal again to prepare for the match against Bologna in the 31st week on April 5.
