Terracciano reveals Milan have worked more on ‘attitude’ than ‘tactics’ under Conceicao | OneFootball

Filippo Terracciano believes AC Milan went into the game against Juventus with the ‘right attitude’, but ultimately have to improve in every area.

Milan suffered a damaging defeat on Saturday evening at the Allianz Stadium and it was a deserved one too as Juve scored twice without reply to get some sort of revenge for the Supercoppa Italiana defeat two weeks ago.

After a scoreless first half where both teams missed opportunities, the home side were by far the better team in the second half. Samuel Mbangula got the opening goal, then Tim Weah doubled the advantage not long after.

Head coach Sergio Conceicao could not hide his disappointment after suffering his first defeat since taking over, questioning the desire of his team and claiming that they didn’t have the hunger to win.

Terracciano spoke to reporters at a press conference after the game and he revealed his belief that the approach was actually correct, with his comments relayed by MilanPress.

“We came in with the right energy and the right attitude. We have to work to keep this attitude for all 90 minutes. In the dressing room we are all men and not boys, we are always united even in these moments,” he said.

“It is normal to feel these emotions, but we can manage them and channel them in the right way. Tactics? With the coach we had little time to work on this area, so we put a lot of energy into attitude and character. We have to continue to improve in all aspects. The priority remains attitude.”
