During the meet and greet day yesterday evening held at the Appiano Gentile Stefano Pioli held a press conference exclusively for Chinese media.

“We’re working very hard every day to be able to qualify for the Champions League. It’s a very important match for the city and for us. We can’t disappoint our Italian, Chinese and worldwide fans. Suning pay a high regard to Gagliardini’s talent, since he arrived he’s quickly become one of the most important players in the team. Gagliardini is a very important player for us, but at the same time we have a very important squad. Above all the absence of one player is no alibi or excuse for a defeat. He wants to be ready for the derby, like everyone he wants to play this match. He is recovering in order to recover to his best physical form.”

“Our owners are very attentive to all the updates in the transfer market, they want to take advantage of all opportinities available and I’m certain they will do everything in their power this summer. Kondogbia is a hugely talented player, I have no doubts as to his capability. Just like everyone he needs confidence to continue to provide excellent performances on the pitch. Suning have a lot of ambitions as well as enthusiasm, they are very attentive and they support us every day. Our objective is to return to the top of the footballing world. Steven Zhang is young but he is already ready, intelligent and determined. He supports the team every day and is interested in every aspect of the club. His presence offers a sensation of serenity and encouragement to the environment here.”

Pioli was then asked how he intends to stop Milan and Suso who cause Inter a lot of problems in the first Serie A derby fixture earlier in the season to which he replied “Milan are a strong team, with a very able coach. Their recent form is good and we can’t handle them with a pair of pliers. We must be very well prepared in order to face this match in the best way possible. I say the same thing to our Italian fans that I say to our Chinese fans as well as our fans from all over the world: we will do everything possible to gift them a fantastic derby and to get the three points.”
