Milan lost two points against Sassuolo due to defensive errors and a lack of effectiveness in free kicks, midfielder Adrien Rabiot explained to Sky. The Frenchman reiterated that although the club made good moves, they failed to capitalize on the third goal scored during the match, leaving the result tied.
Rabiot underlined that, after conceding the opponent's goal, the team lost two crucial balls, but it was goalkeeper Mike Maignan who saved Milan from a potential draw. “We've done some good things and then every now and then we don't do what we should do well,” he said, highlighting the need to review the match and analyze the details. The player also expressed frustration at the difficulty of scoring from corners, a phase in which Milan worked hard but failed to exploit their opportunities.
According to Rabiot, Milan have not yet found their identity on the pitch. "We also adapt to the opponents. Every week we work differently based on the opponent. It's good to know how to defend with 4 or 3, try multiple players in different positions", he added. The midfielder acknowledged that, despite training, the team made mistakes even in "easy" situations that could have been handled better.
Sassuolo, with quality players who put Milan in difficulty, have proven to be a formidable opponent. Rabiot concluded that, although the match was good, Milan could have done more with the skills of the players available. The final result, a draw, left the club with two points dropped, a fact that the manager and players will have to deal with in the next phase of Serie A.
