The AC Milan players are feeling bitter after the frustrating draw against José Mourinho's AS Roma. Stefano Pioli also feels that his boys definitely should have done more in order to avoid goals from such set-pieces.
According to what has been relayed by Il Corriere della Sera, Stefano Pioli told his players yesterday to not create drama and to avoid looking at the standings, at least for now. The gaffer told them to focus instead on the key matches this January, starting with the Coppa Italia and the Supercoppa, which offer two trophies that the club has identified as seasonal goals along with the second star on the shirt.
In short, the message that filters from the Rossoneri headquarters is "don't panic". At the same time, however, the causes of the dramatic draw on Sunday evening must be analysed, so that it does not happen again. The management of the endgame was bad and some tactical choices were also wrong.
