AC Milan Holds Imbang Cremonese, Pioli In Fact, Ucap Selamat Ke Napoli

JAKARTA - AC Milan failed to win when they met Cremonese, who is a Serie A promotional club. Surprisingly, Stefano Pioli as the Rossoneri coach congratulated rival club Napoli.

In the 14th week of Serie A 2022/2023, Milan visited the Giovanni Zini Stadium on Wednesday, November 9 in the morning. As a result, the hosts closed the match by sharing points because the score ended 0-0.

After the match, Pioli immediately reacted. He was clearly disappointed that this result made his team start to catch up with Napoli.

The Rossoneri currently occupy second place in the standings with 30 points. That number is eight points behind the Partenopei and the distance is widening from week to week.

"That (the difference in points) is a lot, we certainly don't like this situation," Pioli was quoted as saying by Football Italia as saying Wednesday, October 9.

To be able to reduce the distance, Milan must immediately return to the path properly. That moment could occur when hosting Fiorentina at the San Siro, where if the result is positive it can be good news for Pioli's troops.

Despite realizing the situation, Pioli still paid tribute to the Partenopei. After losing to the promotional team, he congratulated Napoli.

"There is a long campaign ahead of us. We congratulate Napoli on their record, but we can still do more," Pioli said.

The congratulations made by Pioli are certainly not without reason. The reason is, the coach also highlighted the fact that his rival had just won 10 consecutive wins in Serie A.
