Pippo Inzaghi said Milan should gain “a lot of self-belief” from the performance, even if they lost 3-1 at Juventus.
“Apart from the result, these performances give you a lot of self-belief,” the Coach told Sky Sport Italia.
“It was tough to play on a par with Juve, especially with so many players out of action, but we managed it for a long period of the game.
Pippo Inzaghi said Milan should gain “a lot of self-belief” from the performance, even if they lost 3-1 at Juventus.
“Apart from the result, these performances give you a lot of self-belief,” the Coach told Sky Sport Italia.
“It was tough to play on a par with Juve, especially with so many players out of action, but we managed it for a long period of the game.
“Now we hope to change the trend of results, but with this hunger and attitude that will happen soon enough.”
The Rossoneri seemed far more determined and attack-minded than in recent outings against weaker teams.
“We conceded the second and third goals during our best moments of the match. We had possession and were pegging Juve back at the time.
“I was impressed by the new signings and now we need to get players back in order to have some alternatives. We never clung to that, but we do have so many injuries at the moment and it’s not easy.”
Jeremy Menez went off midway through the first half and Inzaghi revealed what happened.
“Jeremy had a bit of flu yesterday, told me he was ready to play, but then he had shivers and had to come off. I also had to risk Bonaventura, who had told me he didn’t feel fit to play.”
Inzaghi watched the replays of the opening Carlos Tevez goal and realised it was valid.
“From the bench I honestly would’ve given that as offside. He looked a metre in front from there, but seeing it again…
“In any case, we conceded that too easily and should’ve been more reactive on the loose ball. We have to begin again from the hunger and performance of these lads to build for the future.”
Luca Antonelli got the temporary equaliser for Milan on his debut, having arrived from Genoa.
“There are regrets, as Antonelli did well to pressure the defenders and win back possession, we sent Pazzini through, but Buffon made a great save. Now we have two important home games and we have to do well.
“I wanted Antonelli and the President got certain players for me, which proves there is faith in my ideas. Luca did very well tonight and has real character. These are the players I like.
“I am convinced of my choices, I didn’t think I’d be able to perform miracles, but I hope with hard work we can see a Milan side up to the task.”
