Milan coach Stefano Pioli said ‘nobody can have doubts about Paolo Maldini’s moral integrity’ and said the Super League controversy ‘didn’t affect’ the match against Sassuolo.
The Rossoneri slipped against the Neroverdi on Wednesday night, in a 2-1 defeat at San Siro, and after the game Pioli was asked about technical director Maldini, who said he didn’t know anything about the breakaway project.
“Nobody can have doubts about Maldini’s moral integrity, he has great values and if he feels these things, it means he has these feelings,” Pioli told Sky Sport Italia said about the director.
The Milan coach denied his players were affected by the controversy in recent days, as Hakan Calhanoglu's opener was cancelled and turned around by substitute Giacomo Raspadori.
“What happened on the eve didn’t affect the match,” he said.
“I love freedom of speech and thought.”
