Pioli's Comments Ahead of AC Milan vs Chelsea in Champions League: Forget Defeat, Time for Revenge

Banaspati -- AC Milan are determined to take revenge when they host Chelsea at the San Siro on matchday 4 of the Champions League, early Wednesday 12 October 2022. That belief remains, even when AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli knows that the Rossoneri will still be without a string of important players missing through injury.

Stefano Pioli believes his team cannot think too much about the first game against Chelsea. He insisted AC Milan wanted revenge against Chelsea on Wednesday morning when the Rossoner hosted the Blues at the San Siro.

According to the Champions League matchday 4 schedule, AC Milan vs Chelsea will be held at the San Siro on Wednesday, October 12, 2022.

After losing 3-0 at Stamford Bridge last week, this time AC Milan intends to take revenge when welcoming Chelsea's visit to the San Siro in the middle of this week.

But target It will never be an easy match for Pioli and the AC Milan squad.

The reason is, AC Milan still has to deal with several injuries to players in the squad, such as Mike Maignan, Theo Hernandez, Davide Calabria, Simon Kjaer, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Alessandro Florenzi.

Other injured players are Alexis Saelemaekers and Junior Messias. They all will not be able to join the squad ahead of the AC Milan vs Chelsea match.

Last week, after a seemingly even start to the game, Chelsea progressed further in the game and finally managed to score the opener from a corner finally completed by Wesley Fofana.

In the second half AC Milan looked more desperate because they started to give away too many balls. Chelsea took advantage and eventually produced the second and third goals through Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Reece James.

Ahead of the Champions League clash against Chelsea, Pioli spoke to SportMediaset minutes before his pre-match press conference. He was consulted ahead of the game following a poor result at Stamford Bridge last week.

"In London we are not as expressive as we used to be. We shouldn't be too influenced by the match, but we have to learn from certain situations to perform better tomorrow," he said (via MilanNews), reported by Tribun Jogja via sempremilan.

“Chelsea are very strong, they have spent a lot of money to strengthen themselves. They have quality, organisation, speed and intensity. We have to be the best.”

The schedule for the Champions League matchday 4 between AC Milan vs Chelsea will be held at the San Siro on Wednesday, October 12, 2022.
