The Rossoneri knocked Napoli out of the Champions League and set up a semi-final showdown with their city rivals Inter, but first they must focus on securing qualification for the tournament next season.
That is far from certain, as with Juventus getting their 15 points back, Milan were bumped down to fifth place.
“It is important to keep the right concentration and fitness levels up, so my choices are based on having a team that is determined and capable of taking the right approach from the start,” Pioli told DAZN.
They were held to a 2-2 draw by Lecce at the Stadio Via del Mare earlier this season, fumbling a 2-0 advantage.
“I think our Achilles Heel lately has been breaking down teams who are very defensive and then rapid on the counter-attack, so we need to be wary of a well-organised side like Lecce.”
It was put to the coach that at this stage of the season, all that matters is winning, not the style of the performance.
“Winning is the most important thing, but I also firmly believe that playing well helps you to win.”
Even though Olivier Giroud is injured, he is still on the touchline cheering on his teammates during the warm-up.
