“The 3-2 defeat to Milan still hurts, as we played well and were unlucky,” said the Coach in a Press conference.

“We will continue working to make fewer mistakes, but the fact remains that performance is on the right track and we could’ve done more towards the end.”

The loss was even more painful because striker Djurdjevic broke his ankle, while goalkeeper Stefano Sorrentino is a doubt for tomorrow.

“We hope Djurdjevic will be back soon. We won’t sign a replacement who is a free agent, because he won’t have worked in pre-season with us.

“Sorrentino is at risk. He had some more tests today and it won’t be a long lay-off, but we’ll have to see tomorrow.

“Now we have to look forward and think about Sassuolo, a side with excellent individual talents and Eusebio Di Francesco has given them a strong identity.”

Sassuolo also have Gregoire Defrel, the striker who had seemed to be ready for a move to Palermo this summer when he opted for the Neroverdi instead.

“He is only an opponent now,” said Iachini. “He could’ve come to give us a hand, but he chose Sassuolo. The matter is closed.”
