DBasia.news – AC Milan played out a goalless draw against Sampdoria in the continued Serie A match. According to the coach, Stefano Pioli, his team did not provide a good ball supply to Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
AC Milan deadlocked through Sampdoria defense. Despite creating 11 chances, none of them scored.
Pioli tried to find a way out by entering Zlatan Ibrahimovic to replace Krzysztof Piatek in the 55th minute. However, Ibra also can not do much.
Pioli felt the blame does not lie in the line of attackers. Milan’s main problem is the accuracy of the bait into the penalty box. Moreover, the Rossoneri players were not accustomed to sending the ball Ibra wanted.
“We dominated the game very much and did more than 70 passes in the Sampdoria penalty box. However, we are of poor quality and when you don’t have accuracy in the bait, you can’t win the game or create a golden opportunity,” Pioli said as reported by Sky Sports.
“We have to expect more from all Milan players. I feel that the accuracy of the bait statistics which only 70 percent contributed to. We need a victory and feel disappointed that can not be achieved,” said the former Inter Milan coach.
“As far as I’m observing, Ibrahimovic has a positive impact. He brings character, support, and presence to the team. I feel this team is not used to having a physical attacker like Ibra in the penalty box. So, they didn’t give him a pass, especially ahead of the match. end.”
That way, Milan can only score 16 goals in 18 matches in Serie A. No wonder, Il Diavolo Rosso only finished 12th in the standings after collecting 22 points.
“We all need to know each other and know what is needed. I do not mean to blame the quality of the bait, but try to choose the right bait for the players you provide,” said Pioli.
