An unpleasant episode risks tarnishing the Reds' celebration of the 19th Scudetto victory.
Coach Stefano Pioli was robbed of his victory medal, which he wore around his neck when fans invaded Reggio Emilia's field after the awards ceremony.
"I was robbed of my medal at the party. If you can make an appeal. " Thank you, it's the only one I have ," was the coach's appeal.
As for the Serie A title, Pioli said that he deserved more for his Milan. The coach of the red and blacks, told "DAZN" after the triumph that the continuity had made his team the strongest in Serie A this season.
"My players are a phenomenon. I am happy for them, for me, for the staff, for the club and for the fans who deserve this champion title, I am really very happy.
We had more consistency than Inter, the last game we lost was against Specia and we should not have lost. The team never gave up, the players were fantastic, both those who played more and those who played less. We deserved the title because we believed more. We deserved it because we are a strong team and I had on my side two great leaders like Maldini and Masara.
My staff and I had a lot of fun working with these guys. Footballers know our way of playing well and that is the most beautiful thing that remains of our work. We wanted to improve on last year’s championship and we knew that if we had done it, we would have fought for something important. We are a strong team that has always believed. We were brave.
I always want to improve my players but in this matter the talent of the players is essential. If you improve the elements, you improve the whole team and vice versa. It was a journey that has led us to be stronger. Compliments to all.
Coach Award of the Year? It is a merit of the boys and the club, it is for them, without them it would not be possible what we did.
I dedicate this title to my father, I am convinced that wherever he will be. "He will be happy and proud of what I have done," Pioli said after the title party.
