Tijjani Reijnders spoke to the media after AC Milan’s 2-2 draw against Fiorentina earlier this evening. Once again, he criticised the Rossoneri for failing to play well from the first minute, forced to work their way back.
Milan conceded two goals within the first ten minutes and thus had an uphill battle for the rest of the game. Tammy Abraham pulled one back in the first half and then Luka Jovic, the MOTM this evening, found the equaliser in the second half.
Speaking to DAZN after the draw, as transcribed by MilanNews, Reijnders shared his thoughts on the result. He criticised the Rossoneri, once again, for failing to turn up from the first minute and making the fatal errors.
On the game…
“I can’t understand how we conceded two goals like that, two very naive errors, we’ll have to work hard to finish the season well…”
Jovic scored again…
“We need to start playing football from the first minute, not just with comebacks. It’s not the first time we’ve conceded in the first half, it’s an aspect we need to work on, we know that.”
On Milan’s targets…
“Now we need to regroup, I repeat that we cannot have the wrong approach to the match like this. We also have the Coppa Italia, we will be the masters of our own destiny,” he concluded.
The Dutchman didn’t have the best of games himself, missing a good chance and failing to take advantage of set-pieces, so he will surely be looking to do better against Udinese on Friday next week.
We stared every game with fear and allowed the opponents to out shine us before we realize what to do. We conceded 2 goals in 20 minutes and my question is how many midfielders do we have in this particular match?
We have started each game with wrong player or wrong approach with wrong attitude. What was Musah doing as right wing player? What happened to Chukwueze?
We intend to start defending from the very first minute of every game and earn a draw. Today when I saw musah I agreed we need a coach with different attitude and approach to a game not a confused coach who doesn’t understand what a modern football tactics are. Mind you am not blaming musah but it’s obvious he’s not playing in a proper position
Theo always looks uninterested to defender , have been watching him for a long while , that eagerness to defend he doesn’t close space allow cross , theo of way back wouldn’t. I hope his not betting cause after the camera man showed him and dodo talking after the card , dodo scored thank God he was offline just off
