Filippo Terracciano believes AC Milan went into the game against Juventus with the ‘right attitude’, but ultimately have to improve in every area.
Milan suffered a damaging defeat on Saturday evening at the Allianz Stadium and it was a deserved one too as Juve scored twice without reply to get some sort of revenge for the Supercoppa Italiana defeat two weeks ago.
After a scoreless first half where both teams missed opportunities, the home side were by far the better team in the second half. Samuel Mbangula got the opening goal, then Tim Weah doubled the advantage not long after.
Head coach Sergio Conceicao could not hide his disappointment after suffering his first defeat since taking over, questioning the desire of his team and claiming that they didn’t have the hunger to win.
Terracciano spoke to reporters at a press conference after the game and he revealed his belief that the approach was actually correct, with his comments relayed by MilanPress.
“We came in with the right energy and the right attitude. We have to work to keep this attitude for all 90 minutes. In the dressing room we are all men and not boys, we are always united even in these moments,” he said.
“It is normal to feel these emotions, but we can manage them and channel them in the right way. Tactics? With the coach we had little time to work on this area, so we put a lot of energy into attitude and character. We have to continue to improve in all aspects. The priority remains attitude.”
That’s the problem. The coach should concentrate on tactics. The team lacks it
Did the clowns actually send Terraciano to the post-match press-conference? 😂
Well… You cannot rely on tactics when you have (so-called) players such as Emerson “Trashcan” Royal and Musah on the pitch, now can you? Sheer will and good luck is all you can rely on with those guys and let’s face it, we used all the luck against Juve already in the Super Coppa.
Musah didn’t do anything wrong.
He did nothing positive though either. He wasn’t much of a help in the defense, by the 1h mark he had had 6 (or was it 8?) passes to own players. He was completely invisible in the attack. Invisible in the midfield. What did he really do? I remember the one attack where he starting dribbling and that cut out short as his second touch was so poor he gifted the ball to the Juve player standing 10m in front of him.
That’s all he did whole match. And that’s good? Far below average if you ask me. It was like he was never there.
Agree. I haven’t watched a Milan game for a while, I have no desire to suffer, but I saw a few moments in a bar tonight, including the first Juventus goal and I’ve never seen a professional right back, or left back, remain behind the centre backs to cover the offside like this. Any kid aged from 6 to 18 in the academy knows that. But not a 15M€ veteran player it seems.
I’d start this guy next to bennacer next game honestly. Fofana looks like he can barely run 30min, and it’s no surprise. Let Terra play the gattuso type destroyer role, and bennacer play the ball from deep, he’s one of the inky ones rn willing to attempt forward passing consistently. You can bring benna off at 60m for someone like Zeroli or Vos, who we still don’t get to see ever…
Fofana & Tij sure needs some rest!! Their performance levels are dropping match after match and are not delivering anymore. Soon enough they will get injured too.
First juve goal wasn’t Emerson fault, he tried to marking 2 juve players while musah only walk on the pitch to watch emerson. Horrible for musah. Last night should be draw but juve more decisive.
LOL. No one needed to be marked if Emerson only knew what is offside. He only had to take 3 steps forward just like everyone else had and the goal would have been disallowed for offside. Failing to understand the football basics is unacceptable for a ~20M€ signing.
