Fabio Liverani is left with ‘regrets’ after a last-gasp Milan equaliser, as Parma threw away another 2-0 lead. ‘I thought we could cause them problems.’
The Ducali had been 2-0 up at San Siro, just like against Inter, only to fumble it yet again with a last-gasp Theo Hernandez equaliser.
They had also been riding their luck for a while, as the Rossoneri hit the woodwork four times and had a goal narrowly ruled offside.

The Ducali had been 2-0 up at San Siro, just like against Inter, only to fumble it yet again with a last-gasp Theo Hernandez equaliser.
They had also been riding their luck for a while, as the Rossoneri hit the woodwork four times and had a goal narrowly ruled offside.
“We started well, took the lead, then certainly Milan pushed hard for 20 minutes, they hit the woodwork four times, so objectively they deserved to equalise,” Liverani told Sky Sport Italia.
“After that, we doubled our lead with a well-worked move, but the disappointment is that after the 2-1, we basically didn’t run any risks until stoppages.
“There are regrets that we were so close to the victory, but we live and learn. We should’ve done better on the equaliser, as we had the defence in place, we had the numerical advantage in the box, yet we allowed them to get two shots away.
“It’s impossible to be perfect this early into the project, we’re working on it and improving.”
Liverani said in his press conference yesterday that he would not settle for a stalemate. Did he expect Parma to do this well at San Siro?
“Milan are unbeaten since March in Serie A, so naturally they are strong, but I thought we could cause problems with Gervinho in the gap between Davide Calabria and Matteo Gabbia, which is where the first goal came from.
“Naturally, if you have Gervinho and Karamoh, you have to play directly and not try to build it up from deep. We have to find other alternatives and play to those strengths.”
