PIOLI'S POST MATCH REACTIONS
Milan's coach Stefano Pioli spke in his post-match press conforence following the derby against Inter.
“It was absolutely our best first half of the season, but we lost a derby that we had been winning, and we must build on the qualities we showed in that first half. The match must be analysed on the whole."
“The first half saw our strategy work very well and perhaps we deserved to be more than 2-0 up. Unfortunately, those two incidents where we should’ve done much, much better changed the game on a level of mentality. Conceding two goals in three-four minutes made all the difference."
“We had the chance at the end to equalise 3-3 with Ibra, but we were too distracted on the goals. Inter are a much more experienced team than us and more accustomed to playing certain games, so they got back into it. We were also unfortunate, as we hit the woodwork twice.”
“I am angry with my players, because we had some defensive duties in those situations and the moment we let it go, we were punished. It’s a real pity, as we were in control and out-playing a strong team, making it look like there was never a 19-point gap between us. We had defensive duties and we did not perform them."
