Pioli: Inter have weak points, but I will not reveal them

and

face each other in the Supercoppa Italiana in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday. Milan won the Scudetto and Inter won the Coppa Italia last season.

In his pre-match press conference, he said:

“We play for a trophy, we face our rivals and we’ll need a great performance.

“It’s an important game, we can win another trophy which would give continuity to our path. We know we have to raise the bar.”

’s side is nine points below the table leaders Napoli in Serie A after two consecutive draws. They were also eliminated from the Coppa Italia against Torino last week.

“What happened in Serie A counts nothing, tomorrow is another game,”

noted Pioli.

“The season doesn’t end tomorrow anyway, I think that what gravitates around Milan is always exaggerated, in a good or bad way.

“Inter are a strong team and they’ve always created trouble for us, but we have our plan. Like every team, they have weak points, but I will not reveal them,”

he said.

Milan’s manager insisted his players don't have a mentality problem but admitted they must improve.

“How can such a young team not be starving for more victories? We can only do one thing: have more quality, without that it’s hard to win games, it’s not about being satisfied with what we’ve won.

“We are conceding too many goals, we must defend as a unit again, we’ve made too many mistakes and we must improve.

“I’ve learned more from negative experiences. I don’t think this is a tough moment for Milan, we’ll play for a trophy and obviously winning or losing makes a lot of difference.”
