AC Milan coach Pioli supports postponing Genoa clash

AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli supports their game with Genoa being postponed.

The match will be rescheduled due to coronavirus concerns and Pioli feels it is the better decision than playing behind closed doors.

“Football is passion, emotion, behind closed doors it's not there. I was worried all week to make the players understand what it's like to play without fans, I'm glad it won't be played but they could have decided earlier," he said.

“Seeing Milan with so few people is a situation that hurts. Health comes before everything but we also need to go back to normal, it's better for everyone. I'm not just referring to the sport."
