The Rossoneri coach: “Leao still had problems with a calf, yesterday he stopped finishing and didn’t feel like starting from the beginning. Third place is not yet so solid and second not so far away”
Perhaps, more than the number of changes compared to the triumph against Rennes, this evening to forget depended on the performers. Milan’s B-attack is too sterile, some players are too evanescent, the approach of some Rossoneri is too absent-minded. With Jovic’s strike that cost him the red card and completed the job. At the end of the match Stefano Pioli was obviously disappointed. The ranking is not a big problem, far from it, but many aspects of the Milan seen in Monza certainly are.

“We made mistakes that jeopardized the match – explains the Rossoneri coach at the end of the match -. We did the first half hour as we should, then we made mistakes. After the 2-2 draw we had to be more clear-headed, but at that point we wanted to win An evening in which he made too many mistakes. In the first half we needed to be faster, the ball could travel more quickly. We had to be more lucid, attentive and effective. A defeat that really hurts for how it came. Leao still had problems a calf, yesterday he stopped finishing and today he didn’t feel like starting from the beginning, Pulisic didn’t train yesterday, he never stopped, it was right to let him catch his breath. We made too many mistakes for a team of our level, it was a lot which wasn’t happening to us. Thiaw and Jovic’s are heavy, but we all had to do better. Third place isn’t that solid yet and second isn’t that far off.”
