Luka Modric has admitted that the AC Milan players only have themselves to blame for not claiming all three points against Pisa.
Going into the Friday night game at San Siro the mission was quite a simple one: beat the side who have not won a game all season yet in order to secure top spot for another week and watch the weekend’s action unfold at ease.
However, that was not the outcome. Rafael Leao scored inside the opening few minutes, but Juan Cuadrado and M’Bala Nzola netted in the second half to turn the game on its head. Zachary Athekame scored late on to rescue a point and keep the unbeaten run going, but it was still a disappointing outcome.
Modric spoke to Sky after the full-time whistle, and he revealed his frustrations after Milan let a lead slip away against the bottom-placed side. MilanNews relayed his comments.
How much anger is there?
“We expected this match, they came to defend and make life difficult for us. It’s only our fault if we didn’t win: we didn’t do enough to win the game. We dropped two important points today. These home games, with all due respect to Pisa, you have to win.”
Did you expect such tight marking?
“That’s right, I have to adapt. We need to play better overall: we did some good things, created a lot of chances, but we didn’t score. But other than that, I have to adapt.”
