Milan coach Filippo Inzaghi preferred to look at the positives
despite seeing his side pegged back as they drew 1-1 with
Fiorentina.
Inzaghi's men seemed to be heading for a third straight win that
would have seen them go third in Serie A thanks to Nigel de
Jong's close-range header midway through the first half on
Sunday.
And they were largely comfortable throughout the game but
Vincenzo Montella's men grabbed an equaliser out of nowhere
courtesy of substitute Josip Ilicic's superb 25-yard drive after 63
minutes.
But despite being disappointed, Inzaghi pointed to pleasing
aspects of the performance, and feels that his side is in a better
position than many would have expected at the start of the
season.
He told Sky Sport Italia: "The result is a little disappointing, but
getting this result against a Fiorentina side that has been
targeting third place since the start of the season is impressive.
"It was a balanced game and we have some regrets, as we
conceded that goal from nowhere by Ilicic. We were coming off
two consecutive victories and went close to a third, as aside
from the goal we ran very few risks and it was our best defensive
performance of the season.
"There are many reasons to be pleased with this performance,
but we conceded on our poor clearance in midfield."
The result means that Milan drop to sixth place, but they have
gone five without defeat in the league, with the one loss coming
in a close contest against Juventus, and Inzaghi believes his team
is moving in the right direction.
"I think Milan played on Fiorentina's level, I know we have to
improve and build attacking moves better, but we are slowly on
the right path," he told Sky Sport Italia.
"I think we did everything we could tonight and you can't build a
whole new team in just two months. We are trying to get Milan
back to being great, but it takes time.
