“We scored more shots on goal in the second half with [Samir] Handanovic, who made some crucial saves. It was a difficult week, but we will react

Pioli said: “Our strength is balance We believe in our job We have to be objective A year or even three months ago we would have been happy to be where we are now

“Other than that, we’re not happy because this was the derby, we wanted more, but we mustn’t forget our way

“We haven’t done our best in the last three games and we know we can do a little more”We apologize for today’s defeat, but the bad game was against Spezia, not that. We tried to do our best today

“We are the only team that played the Europa League play-offs We had some injuries and some players played too much”It’s normal, we knew this season would have been difficult and so we have to be happy with what we’ve done so far

“It’s been a tough week, the worst of the season. We want to qualify for the next stage of the Europa League and then focus on Serie A again”
