AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli was delighted with their 4-0 rout of Coppa Italia quarterfinal win against Lazio.
Rafael Leao, Olivier Giroud (2) and Franck Kessie struck the goals for the Rossonero.
“We made the most of the derby victory to give ourselves even more energy, belief and conviction. The whole atmosphere is very positive, we were focused and in control for the full 90 minutes," Pioli told Sport Mediaset.
On Giroud, Pioli said: “He had started the season very well, but had problems with his back and ankle, so needed time to get back into shape. He is a strong centre-forward, but the whole team did well tonight and we must continue like this."
Milan will meet Inter in the semifinals.
"These are always special games to prepare and very stimulating, the Coppa Italia is a competition both clubs want to win, so we will try to give our best against opponents we know are very strong," added Pioli.
