Milan in tension before the duel with Frosinone, the coach also comments on Maldini's statements

Milan returns to the field on Saturday against Frosinone in "San Siro", a must-win match at all costs. The atmosphere in the Rossoneri camp is not the best after numerous injuries and the loss against Dortmund in the Champions League. The coaching positions have been shaken after the negative results, but Pioli had a meeting with the Cardinal owner. In the statement to the press before the challenge with Frosinone, the Milan technician also answered Paolo Maldini. At first he talked about the meeting with the Cardinal. "It was a very positive and very constructive meeting, an additional incentive for everyone's work. We have to play at a high level against Frosinone. 

Di Francesco is doing a great job, they have enthusiasm and confidence in their abilities. Damages? This emergency will end one day. I believe that after two weeks we will be better in this aspect. Kjaer is not ready for Saturday, but could return for the next game. Leo? Maybe he will return for the meeting with Atalanta, we will do everything to have him ready for that match. We come out of this crisis winning, since only victories fill us with enthusiasm. To show on the field that we are a competitive team capable of doing well.

 We are almost out of the Champions League, but there are still 25 games left in the championship. "If someone doesn't believe that we can beat Juve and Inter, they shouldn't have come to training," Pioli said. Then he spoke about the attitude of Maldini, who has criticized the club for the moves he has made. "I have no comment on Paolo's words. I will always be grateful to him and Masara, but now I want to focus all my energy on winning the next matches. I am not alone, I have always been supported by the club", says the coach of Milan, who also has a comment about Zhan Karlo Simic. The 18-year-old defender is expected to make his debut at the back alongside Tomori against Frosinone. "He worked with us during the summer, played in the friendly with Real Madrid. 

He is a physically strong and attentive defender, I have seen him at ease these days. I can't say whether he will play or not, but we are supporting him in the right way. The same as we are doing with Kamarda", emphasized Pioli, whose team holds the third place with 6 points less than the leading Inter. Milan-Frosinone is scheduled to be played on Saturday evening (20:45) at "San Siro" in Milan. As you can see, Milan is in a difficult situation and coach Pioli seems to be even more tense.
