Malick Thiaw spoke to the media ahead of AC Milan’s game against Bologna and stated that they cannot afford more mistakes. He also admitted that it’s difficult for them to get out of the current negative moment.
Thiaw has started the last two league games and he also played the Feyenoord clashes from start. In short, Conceicao clearly appreciates his qualities and one can certainly agree, seeing as the German has been decisive above all with his vertical passing.
Speaking to DAZN ahead of tonight’s big clash, as transcribed by MilanNews, the defender said that Milan cannot afford to make any more mistakes. He also admitted that it’s difficult to turn the page in such a difficult moment.
Is it a final today? How important is it for the fourth place?
“Yes, it is very important for us. We have to win to stay close to the other teams.”
The mistakes of the last matches…
“We did a good job defensively, we lost because of individual errors and not because of tactics. We have to be more careful: it’s attention, not quality.”
How do we start again?
“Difficult. Right now we are in a bad moment but we have to move forward, just like we do in life. And we have to start today.”
Strahinja Pavlovic is the starting centre-back alongside Thiaw tonight and although conceding silly goals has been an issue, they haven’t been at fault. They would certainly deserve a game with a clean sheet, in other words.
No. The issue is quality. Musah shouldn’t be allowed to enter the stadium yet he plays 90 minutes. Fofana & Reijnders should be on the bench as Bologna’s midfield dominated 100-0 over them. Jimenez shouldn’t be a starter.
The quality isn’t there.
The issues it’s thiaw and musah aren’t always full concentrate on the pitch, always ask foul to referee. And remember the Milan CB can’t play the ball like the old time: Maldini, nesta or romagnoli. The nearest maybe pavlovic / gabbia
