A pause for international commitments did not do good to AC Milan, which, after the categorical victory won over Lecce, at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, by 3-0, it was found, this Sunday, unable to go beyond a tie to a ball with Sassuolo, in the trip to Stadio Cittè del Tricolore.

 

The rossoneri came to be in advantage, the result of a goal written by Adrien Rabiot, at the passage of 63 minutes, but this lasted only... five minutes, the time required for Cas Odenthal to reach the large area and put the ball at the bottom of the goal to guard Mike Maignan, to seal the final result in the game of the sixth journey of Serie A.

In statements made in the Italian television station Sky Sport’s quick interviews area after the final whistle, Ruben Amorim explained what failed: “When we do not win, we are never satisfied. There are still many things we need to improve on, but we have shown improvements. We controlled a good part of the game.”.

“ We wanted to push our opponent and score, and we had a greater responsibility in the field. We did a good job holding back and controlling a lot of transitions. We deserve the advantage, but after the goal, of course we have to better manage the game, have more possession of the ball and stop the opposing reaction ", started by affirming.

“We cannot afford to have a goal coming from a corner kick. Of course, we cannot be satisfied when we waste two points in this way (...). We must continue to do the things we were doing until we scored the goal, and then continue like this, with more possession of ball and without letting the game enter transitions ", continued.

“ Clearly, as you saw, we managed to control the game, press, find the right combinations and play well. Sometimes it's a question of mentality. If you score a goal, you have to keep pushing, because the opponent will try to react, so we have to manage the ball much better ", completed.

What's wrong with Gonçalo Ramos?

It was also not particularly happy that Gonçalo Ramos, who, after scoring three goals in the three games in which he was used by Portugal's selector, Jorge Jesus, in the condition of titular, again failed to break the 'fast' that goes through, in AC Milan, which has lasted since the victory over Venezia, by 2-0, to 28 August.

Asked whether he lacked support in front of the attack, the compatriot stressed: “At the moment, we are working on our construction, and this is seen at certain stages of the game. However, we need to improve combinations in the last third of the field. Effectively, sometimes the opponent managed to overcome us in the midfield and prevent our progression in the left wing”.

“ From there, we should have tried to play a little more for the inside of the ground. We are working, let us say that this is last or at least one of the last steps to finish more often at the goal and with greater danger ", concluded.
