Matteo Gabbia took responsibility for not reacting quick enough on Genoa’s goal in the draw with AC Milan at San Siro tonight.
Genoa got themselves ahead in the game in the first half when a cross was flicked in by Lorenzo Colombo, who had beaten his compatriot and former team-mate Gabbia to the ball.
The away side would hold onto that lead until the 92nd minute, when Rafael Leao rose highest to head in a corner to level proceedings. Stanciu missed a penalty kick in the 98th minute, and it eventually finished 1-1.
It is more dropped points for Milan against a side struggling at the other end of the table after previous draws with Pisa, Parma and Sassuolo plus the defeat to Cremonese in round one. As a result, Inter are now three points clear at the top.
Gabbia takes responsibility
Gabbia spoke to DAZN after the final whistle to try and assess a night with a lot of incidents but ultimately the points shared. MilanPress transcribed his words to the broadcaster.
What is the feeling like in the dressing room after that result?
“We’re coming back with a bitter taste in our mouths. We wanted to win. We started well with a few chances, I hit the crossbar and then made a mistake that led to their goal.
“In the second half, we tried to get back on track, but the goal came too late. We need to improve. We have a great staff, and we’ll try to work as hard as we can starting next Sunday.”
How are you feeling personally?
“I’m fine, the injury is behind me, I thank the medical staff. I should have beaten Colombo to the ball [for the goal], but I focused on the player, and he beat me to it. Unfortunately, that happens sometimes, but I take responsibility. We dropped two points on situations where we work every week.”
Are you feeling the pressure of keeping up with Inter and Napoli?
“We don’t look at Inter or Napoli, we look at ourselves. When you play for Milan, you have to win every game. It’s this shirt that demands it. We try to do our best in every game.”
