Milan head coach Stefano Pioli praised the team’s defeat by Udinese (1:3) in the Italian championship match.
“We showed a bad game. When a team plays like this – non-aggressive, non-intense, frustrating and losing focus – it means that the coach has done a poor job preparing for the match. Today we played much worse than our capabilities.
You can say that Ibra [Ибрагимович] and Leau could play higher in attack, but in general we were below our level. If we were already thinking about the quarterfinals [Лиги чемпионов]then this is a serious problem, especially considering that our priority is to place in the top 4 [Серии А]” Pioli said.
