New AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli admits they need to rebuild "game to game".

Milan meet SPAL on Thursday night.

Pioli said, “We mustn't put the cart before the horse, there's time to improve our standings and I want people who are fired up, motivated and want to prove themselves. If we are in this position, it means we've made mistakes. I need to see players who won't hold back.

“It's important to take it one game at a time, with the right battling spirit. We might not be the best team in terms of quality, but at least we want to be the best when it comes to spirit and determination.

“If anyone has fears, it's time to put them to one side. There is much to be done, but if we believe in ourselves, then anything is possible."
