Pippo Inzaghi said Milan “need to find confidence” after more injury problems and a 1-1 home draw with Empoli.

The visitors dominated possession at San Siro and had far more shots on goal, but grabbed a point thanks to Massimo Maccarone after Mattia Destro’s opener.

“Things are just going this way at the moment,” shrugged the Coach on Sky Sport Italia.

Pippo Inzaghi said Milan “need to find confidence” after more injury problems and a 1-1 home draw with Empoli.

The visitors dominated possession at San Siro and had far more shots on goal, but grabbed a point thanks to Massimo Maccarone after Mattia Destro’s opener.

“Things are just going this way at the moment,” shrugged the Coach on Sky Sport Italia.

“After all, it’s incredible to lose Alex after 30 seconds with a broken nose. Empoli play great football and we did well even under pressure.

“It was a fairly balanced game and the big regret is that we shouldn’t concede a goal like that. Our defence was in position and we were still caught out. We were very concentrated on set plays today, but then got distracted on the goal.”

Milan have amassed only five points from the last seven rounds and 12 from the last 13 Serie A games.

“We just have to keep going, hope to recover some injured players and find confidence. You can tell Maurizio Sarri has been coaching Empoli for three years, whereas we cannot find consistency because of all these injuries.

“At this moment we need to work on their heads, as the players need to find confidence again. I understand the fans, because they’ve been through tough times, but considering we ended the match with nine men I’d say the point was acceptable.

“The fans are like me, they always want more. We just have to roll our sleeves up and transform those jeers into applause.

“The supporters had been accustomed to very different results, but this situation has been going on for a few years now. It takes time.

“We’ve been working on this tactical system for two weeks and it will certainly improve.”
