Udine coach Kosta Runjaić spoke to DAZN at the end of the Serie A match against Milan, after a defeat that left the club in a state of disappointment. Runjaić expressed his disappointment at the loss, but also praised the team's liveliness and determination, underlining that he saw a group of players who fought bravely.
Runjaić specified that, despite the defeat, the team showed "life" on the pitch, managing to resist in different phases of the match. He also highlighted that Udinese conceded an easy goal to Milan, making it difficult to recover the result. The coach also mentioned injury problems, which negatively affected the overall performance. “If things go wrong, it's not easy for the team,” he said, referring to the difficulties that arose during the match.
The coach reiterated that, despite the defeat, Udinese had taken important steps to overcome the previous difficulties. He underlined the importance of speaking little to society and overcoming problems together, recognizing that "problems happen". Runjaić recalled that, until the match against Lazio, Udinese were doing well, but Milan, with their experience, managed to manage the advantage and keep the pressure on the team.
Despite the loss, Runjaić maintained a positive attitude, stating that it is part of his style to lead by example regardless of the outcome. He closed his speech by underlining that Udinese had positive moments in some phases of the match, but that the team must continue to work to improve.
With the next match against Lazio scheduled, Udinese will have to try to consolidate the lessons learned against Milan and get back on track, trying to transform the difficulties into motivation for future matches.
