Giampaolo suggests Lecce ‘failed’ against Milan: “They had great mental condition” | OneFootball

AC Milan managed to bounce back yesterday, with a 3-2 win against Lecce, but it was certainly not pretty, and Marco Giampaolo was critical about his team.

With no wins in three games, at moments in the game, it seemed that the final whistle could be Sergio Conceicao’s last, but through changes, which he later detailed to the press, he has managed to extend his stay.

The road forward still has an ending in sight, and it will likely be in the summer, with everyone wanting to take a new direction. However, there is no need to put on the brakes just yet, even if the game yesterday was screaming for it to be done for a while.

Ultimately, this is how the Rossoneri are at present, an unreliable and inconsistent entity that cannot be solved by the change of its face. No, the rot lies much, much deeper, so work must be done quickly to resolve things.

After the game, Giampaolo spoke to the media about his team’s ‘failure’, and Milan News have relayed his comments.

“The analysis of the match is not difficult. In detail, you can do it well, there is great disappointment for having played a good hour of great football.

We probably paid for Milan’s quality, we failed with the players who were strategic in the preparation of the match, in the sense that Pierotti and Helgheson were less present in training. Pierotti was limping on the action of the goal, with Theo and Leao there was work to be done…

“We conceded two goals in four minutes, it was a pity. On the third goal Milan were in great mental condition and had a lot of quality. There is great disappointment, but we must also look for the positive aspects of the match, aware that this intensity the team has everything to reach its goal.

“It’s a shame we didn’t bring home a positive result, we would have deserved it. But without taking anything away from Milan, who have quality players.”
