AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli was happy with victory over Crotone.

The result takes Milan back to the top of the table.

Pioli said, “Our motivation must be to win every game. We are aware of our capabilities and what we can give, so we are satisfied when we do get the victory, but it's too early to look at the table. We have to take it one game at a time and know there's going to be tougher times ahead with the Europa League and matches every three days.

“I am fortunate to work with a club that chose players who are very strong, mentally and physically, with specific characteristics that can complete the squad."
