Milan know our mistakes - Stefano Pioli

"

I don't like the concept of 'nine games remaining'. It's all about tomorrow's game. Parma are a quality and challenging opponent,

" Pioli said at a press conference.

"We nee quality and rhythm. We struggle when we don't have them."

What went wrong against the

Sampdoria

?

"

A little bit of everything, but we must focus on tomorrow's game now. If we keep this point average, we can reach 80 points. Tomorrow's game is complicated,

" Pioli claimed.

"The fact that everyone is disappointed when we put down bad performances is one of the things I like the most about this group. We know which mistakes we've made, and we don't want to repeat them."

Are

Davide Calabria

and

Mario Mandzukic

ready to play?

"

Calabria is feeling better and could return to action next week. Mandzukic was unlucky, but he is a great man and a great professional, he is not 100 per cent fit, but he can help us

," Pioli claimed.

"If nothing changes, Calabria, Romagnoli and Maldini will be the only unavailable players."

Are contract extension negotiations hitting

?

"

The final result is essential when it comes to negotiations, but everyone is concentrated on tomorrow's games only,"

the coach said.

Is he frustrated to see Milan so far away from the top?

"

You are the only one who spoke about Scudetto, the wind blows away the words,

" Pioli  insisted.

"I am happy here, we are working to bring Milan back no normality, to the Europe that counts. I am feeling well and I can have an impact, improving the club and the players."

Does he think Jens Petter Hauge can play on the right?

"I think Hauge is a left-winger. I want to put the players in the ideal position to perform well. Diaz could play on the right instead."

What does he think of Theo Hernandez's recent play?

“Theo played a great game in Florence but had a bad day on Saturday. He is focused, and I expect a great game from him tomorrow.”
