AC Milan coach Conceicao left frustrated after derby draw

Stefan de Vrij found an inter-equalizer in injury time to cancel Milan's lead by Tijjani Reijnders.

“We tried to press a little higher in the first half, but nobody thought in the same way, so we left important space for counterattacks,” Confeicao told Dazn.

“We have prepared ourselves a little differently. I love high pressing and don't let the opponents come out with the ball. We scored after Tammy won the ball high on the field. We have to work on this. We had the right attitude, but we have work to do. We all agree on this.

“Bennacer is technically a very interesting player, but I needed different characteristics in midfield.

“We had a numeric disadvantage with two players against three. We needed more physicality, so I put Jimenez on the wings and Musah in the middle.

“In the first half we could have done some things differently with regard to the ability and the desire to have the ball. I understand the moments and the environment, but we must be stronger than this. We are in Milan and the players here must take this responsibility to keep the ball and stop the opponents, so that they cannot reach our goal too often. “
