After the 1-0 defeat to Juventus in the latest installment of the TIM Cup Final, Milan boss Cristian Brocchi spoke about the hard-fought bout in Rome.
Cristian Brocchi and his Milan side gave it their all tonight in front of a packed Stadio Olimpico crowd. The rossoneri manager spoke about the performance, via acmilan.com:
“The team played well tonight and that was clear to see to everyone. We have received praise from everyone. However, that doesn’t take away the disappointment. We didn’t deserve to lose. Tonight I started to see the first signs of my work in this team. I saw the right approach and attitude. We were made to pay by a match incident.”
Brocchi on the performance of his players against a team like Juventus:
“We put in a great performance today and made life really hard for them. I don’t know on how many occasions that has happened this season.”
“To press them high up we sent Poli to mark their playmaker. This frustrated Juve’s efforts to play the ball and I think we got it tactically spot on.”
The former Primavera coach on the decision to hold Mario Balotelli for a later substitution:
“Balotelli was eager to play, but I had to consider extra time and ensure I was smart enough to make the right choices.”
More from Brocchi on the performance of his men, and the atmosphere the fans helped create at the Stadio Olimpico:
“Today we gave everything. To see all our fans out in full force was beautiful. I am sorry we weren’t able to win.”
