AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli: I wish I could help my players on the pitch

AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli knows Hellas Verona are capable of pulling off an upset on Sunday.

Milan need a win after the midweek draw with Udinese.

"(Ivan) Juric is doing a great job at Verona, even changing many players. The team is technical and offensive, we need attention," Pioli said at a press conference.

"They beat Napoli and Atalanta and picked up a draw against Juventus. They are strong in the duels," the coach continued.

"We are not as quick when it comes to moving the ball, we must do better. Verona will be looking for duels and we should not give them points of reference. If we play a technical game we'll have good chances.

"I will tell my players I'd like to be 30 years younger to play with them. If we overcome difficulties together, we'll get more satisfaction."
