On the pitch at 8.45pm Milan-Bologna LIVE
The fifth consecutive victory in the championship to continue to "feel good mentally" and follow in the footsteps of an AC Milan fan who is on top of the world.
"Sinner? He did something incredible, beating the number one with strength, like he beat him. You can't get to those levels without talent and if you haven't worked on that talent. In these years in our journey, we have shown that we can work in a certain way, have the right mentality and perhaps in this we resemble Jannik, but he is at the top of the world and we are working to get there", Stefano Pioli says in the conference.
There is a long way to go for Milan, but the results obtained in the last few games have removed clouds and tensions.
Bologna arrives at San Siro on Saturday, the big surprise of the championship, and with a thought for Sinisa Mihajlovic just over a year after his death ("he is missed by the whole environment", Pioli's words), the Rossoneri will have to confirm what positive things done in the latest releases.
