Vincenzo Montella believes Milan are still on track to achieve their aims despite recent disappointing results.

Today's 1-1 draw at Crotone means the Rossoneri have taken just one point from two games against teams threatened by relegation, having lost at home to Empoli last weekend.

"We suffered in the first quarter of an hour," Montella admitted. "In the second part of the first-half the team grew into the game.

"We didn't create much because Crotone put a lot into it – they probably paid for it in the second-half.

"This team has better quality in the final third than what it showed today. But we need to work, be constructive and look to the next game.

"The team has showed it is hungry, believes in Europa League qualification and is a united group.

"We are perfectly on course for our ambitions, Crotone are in Champions League form at the moment."
