AC MILAN COACH FILIPPO INZAGHI (to the Milan Channel) “We deserved to lose and Udinese played well. We’re very disappointed and we are sorry for our performance. It’s a shame, because despite the ups and downs, this side had never previously taken to the pitch with the wrong attitude. It cannot happen again and I am sure that it won’t happen on Wednesday, otherwise it would be worrying. Tonight we will stay at Milanello.”
FORWARD GIAMPAOLO PAZZINI “I had a feeling I would start. I prepared the match as if it were a final. Regardless of my goal, we did not play well and I am very sorry about this. I believed we could complete the come-back. They were tired. It’s enough to try. It was an important match today and we got it wrong. On Wednesday it will be very hard and it is a very big match. There is a lot of disappointment today, but we need to bounce back as of Wednesday.”
FILIPPO INZAGHI (press conference) “The squad up until today has always given its all, but the attitude today was wrong and so was the way we approached the match. The important thing is to now reflect well tonight at Milanello and give a good performance on Wednesday (against Genoa, editor’s note). We deserved to lose. I’ve been saying as of Monday that if we didn’t play with the right mentality then we risked giving this account of ourselves. There are very few excuses and the only thing to do now is to roll up our sleeves and do well in the last 6 matches, because we’re Milan and our dignity is involved. Tonight we will stay at Milanello, tomorrow morning we will have training and then together with the club we will take a decision (over a training retreat, editor’s note). I have an idea and I will share it with the club. When you hit the bottom like today you need to reflect. It isn’t a retreat of one or two days that changes things. If the attitude is wrong and you are not focused out on the pitch, it is hard to get back into a match. With the attitude showed today we would have lost to whoever. We were absent today. Compliments to Stramaccioni’s Udinese.”
The stats to emerge from the Round 32 Serie A match Udinese-Milan.
(IN THE PHOTO: Pazzini’s goal versus Udinese)
MILAN – Milan came away from the Friuli stadium on Saturday evening empty handed after a 2-1 defeat and with all the goals coming in the second half.
The home side broke the deadlock on 58 minutes through Pinzi and on 74 minutes Badu doubled their lead. Pazzini pulled a goal back late on for Milan.
Here are the stats to emerge from the match:
4- the rossoneri had gone 4 matches unbeaten before falling to defeat away at Udinese on Saturday.
3- by scoring against Udinese, Giampaolo Pazzini scored his third goal of this season. 2 of these have been scored in Serie A and 1 in the Italian Cup. Along with Nigel De Jong, Pazzini is the only other player in the Milan squad to have found the back of the net in both competitions this season.
99- Pazzini is just one goal short of reaching the milestone of 100 goals in Serie A. His second half header away at Udinese was his 99th goal in the Italian top flight. 3 have been scored with the Atalanta jersey, 25 with Fiorentina, 36 with Sampdoria, 16 with Inter and 19 with Milan.
11 February 2012- to find the last time Milan ran out winners at the Friuli stadium, you have to go back to 2012. On that day Maxi Lopez and El Shaarawy were on the score-sheet to give Milan a 2-1 victory after Antonio Di Natale had broken the deadlock.
Here are the probable formations for the 2014-2015 Italian Serie A Week 32 – Thirty-second Round on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 April 2015.
