AC Milan boss Sergio Concukicao was impressed by the fight on his side and defensive grit in their 1-1 draw with Inter.
The first stage of the semi -final of Coppa Italia between the two major rivals ended the entire square on Wednesday.
Tammy Abraham raised Milan in the second half a clinical finish, but Inter hit Hakan Calhanoglu.
After a 1-1 draw in the last league match between these two teams, Milan and Inter have now drawn two games in a row for the first time since the 2016-17 season.
Milan has fallen in shape after a strong start under Conukicao, but he thinks his team is steadily improving and that has been shown in San Siro.
“When I arrived, we had two games against Juventus and Inter for the Supercoppa, then we started a series of matches that play every three days,” he told Sport Mediaset, as reported by Football Italia.
“In the past two weeks I have had more time to work with the team in training on situations that are of fundamental importance to bring more balance and reassurance.

“I know this may seem like an excuse, but it is the truth for me, because you also get intensity and aggression in training. Now we work on the field and not just in video lectures, which makes a difference.
“In the second half against Napoli and again [on Wednesday]I saw a more solid team, the kind I like to see.
“I think the result was fair, now we are waiting for the second stage and we have the chance to go to the final in Rome, which we all really want.”
The second stage takes place at the end of April.
