Sergio Conukicao said that AC Milan has paid the price for making non-forced errors, which means that they had to come from behind to earn a 2-2 draw against Fiorentina in the Serie A.
Milan admitted twice in the opening for 10 minutes through her own goal of Malick Thiaw and a first effort by Moise Kean, but saved a point with goals by Tammy Abraham and Luka Jovic.
However, they continued to lose pace with the Champions League places and now only get a chance of 0.2% to finish fourth by the OPTA -SUPERCOMPUTER.
Milan has only won 48 points this season; It is only the third time in the last 10 seasons that they have collected less than 50 points after 2015-16 (49) and 2019-20 (49). They finished those campaigns in seventh and sixth respectively.
Verenicao noted that they should make major improvements if they want to finish the season strongly.
“There are some individual mistakes, but not only for defense. I think the team made mistakes that were not forced by the opponent,” Confeicao told Sky Sport.
“There are some behaviors that we try to improve … These are the behavior of football and football school that you learn as a child.
“We also miss many goals. We have to find this balance because we create a lot. The approach was bad, it was not what we prepared.”
Milan, who has earned seven points from their last seven games, is ninth in the table. They are four points behind the eighth placed Fiorentina and Acht van Bologna, who have a competition in hand, in fourth place.
Despite their disappointment with the result, Milan has received the most points from losing positions in the Serie A this season (16, level with Bologna).
“We talk to each other, we prepare the games well. The boys have given me some good signs in these three days,” said Conceicao.
“In the match against Inter, the approach was different and we were in balance for 90 minutes.
“[There’s] A series of characteristics that players must have and this mentality, personality to strongly enter the game to defend this shirt, must always be present. “
Conuicao's side held Inter on a 1-1 draw in the first stage of their Coppa Italia semi-final draw on Wednesday.
With the prospects to secure Champions League football, they can earn a place in the Europa League if they succeed in that competition.
