Mario Gila has admitted that it was very much a game of two halves for AC Milan as they came from behind to draw with Lazio.
After 45 minutes it looked like being a negative return to the capital for Gila, who of course arrived from Lazio in the summer window. Mattia Zaccagni and Tijjani Noslin scored in the first half to give the home side a commanding lead, one their efficiency had warranted.

However, one of Ruben Amorim’s half-time substitutions paid off as he brought Diego Moreira off the bench at left wing-back. He scored twice inside three second-half minutes with a volley and a sweet first-time strike to bring the Rossoneri level, which is how it would remain.
‘We can be one of the best in the league’
Gila was interviewed by DAZN after the final whistle to give his thoughts on a rollercoaster game against his former club. His comments have been relayed by MilanNews.
Was this a Milan of two halves?
“Yes, the analysis is very correct. I think we were disastrous in the first half, honestly. We weren’t the Milan we want, and it was a very different match from the second half, where we understood who we are, where we play, and we certainly did much more than in the first half.
“I think that, after the work we did in the second half, we deserved something more. The second half was very positive, but we need to work hard to avoid a repeat of the first half, and we need to maintain the positive feelings from the second half.”
What went wrong in the first half?
“In the first half, we lost too many balls. When we’re good with the ball and precise, we can be one of the best teams in the league, as we saw in the second half.
“We played an incredible second half, but it’s true that when you’re not in top form, any Serie A team can create danger in duels. We saw that against Lazio: they’re having a very good run, and we repaid them.”
What exactly were (have you been) doing before the(ir) first goal?!
watch the game instead of blabbing…
Gila was our best CB today, covering for Pavlo and DeWinter in many instance… Estupido not being able to mark a person is not Gila’s fault…
Dont listen to toxic guy
You should learn how to behave and address other people, stop being so impolite. Gila was very bad (slow and undecisive) in the first half on several occassions but there are in fact two more players that must be blamed for that goal beside him and estupinan- loftus and Rabiot. I see that you suggest we should keep Moreira on the bench? Also, we don’t need a left AMC (CAM) but a right one, you obviously don’t realize that you are making the same mistake over and over again and that you are confusing two things as if you don’t know which side of the world is which, learn the difference so you could make that distinction in the comments instead of preaching (and insulting) me like this repeatedly. Left-FOOTED (or ambipedal) attacking midfielder on the right side i.e. AMRC, that’s what we should sign in the foreseeable future (just as we should a (R)CB, (D)MC and a backup SC, perhaps even a RWB), it really isn’t that hard to comprehend what is what, you’ll get there in the end. GOOD LUCK.
Lol Gila was never a problem in this match. Shut up
Of course he was and it happened more than once. Be very silent, rtrd.
A-stupid-man and RLC were disasters
