DBasia.news – AC Milan failed to get full points when they hosted Bologna in the 2021-2022 Serie A continuation. The coach, Stefano Pioli insists his team is not burdened with the situation in the standings.
In the match which took place at the San Siro, Tuesday (5/4) early morning WIB, Milan and Bologna were only able to draw 0-0. This result makes the Rossoneri fail to keep their distance with two competitors, Napoli and Inter Milan.
With the addition of one point, Milan, which is now packing 67 points, is only one point ahead of Napoli in second place. While Inter trailed behind him with a difference of four points and one game remaining in savings.
That means, Inter will cut the distance to just one point if they take advantage of the savings from that one game to the fullest. This condition makes the title race more open.
It’s only natural that later it appears that Milan is burdened with the pursuit of two rivals. Zlatan Ibrahimovic and his friends did appear last than Napoli and Inter.
However, this assumption was firmly denied by Pioli. He considered his foster children still appear as usual.
“I completely ignore the idea that this is a psychological problem. This team played with the right character, temperament and mentality, even with quality up to the final third of the pitch,” Pioli told Sky Sport Italia.
“We created a lot of chances and didn’t finish them, that’s the truth the statistics show. We played our football but didn’t finish the chances.”
Pioli’s argument makes a lot of sense. Milan did dominate the game by appearing aggressive.
Milan was even able to release 33 shots throughout the game. But only seven of which led to the goal of Bologna.
“I have no complaints about this team other than we need to be sharper and more efficient in the penalty area. We play every game to win, so of course it’s a missed opportunity, especially in front of our fans.”
Even so, the poor effectiveness of Milan’s front line could be due to mental pressure as well. Pioli must immediately fix it if you want the failure of last season is not repeated.
