MILAN (Reuters) - AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli said it is too early to entertain talk of a Serie A title challenge from his side this season, calling on his team to learn the art of winning ugly if they are to emerge victorious at the end of the campaign.

Pioli's side have impressed so far this season, winning eight and drawing one of their nine league games following their 4-2 success at Bologna on Saturday.

"It's too early , nine matches are nothing," Pioli told a news conference ahead of his side's clash with Torino on Tuesday. "The successful teams win even when you don't play well - I believe that the step to take is this. When we play well - we often win well, but when we can't play well we have to give everything until the end knowing that we have the quality to win games."

"It doesn't matter who we have between the lines, but we have to stay there," he added."We made an excellent move in the first goal against Bologna.
