In Search For The Identity

Following the defeat suffered against Inter, coach Leonardo is already working particularly on the players' heads: "This defeat must not stop us from improving, we have the qualities to do so."

MILAN - Sour after game for coach Leonardo who does not run away from the considerations related to the match:

"We're a team who is still searching for an identity and our growth must continue despite this defeat. We have the time and ways to do so. Tonight we started out very well, even though in attack we were not too brilliant, but the team played short between the departments, as well as solid and aggressive, and right now there are positive things. Some small episodes penalized us, like Gattuso's injury. Rino had problems to go back to midfield and probably if he was fine, he wouldn't have made that penalty foul. There was also the postponed substitute of Gattuso, because Seedorf was stopped by some small problems. Unfortunately it went like this, but this defeat must not stop us from improving and move forward. Ronaldinho? It's not a matter of individuals, we played against a tough and solid team and then we had various difficulties. There was a part of the game where we were also better than Inter, but we did not manage well enough our disadvantage. I spoke to the lads, we're just in the second matchday, we did positive things, we cannot stop mentally. We must start again calmly and aware that we must improve. There is full truth on this Milan, we cannot fail everything from tonight. The transfer market? I think that we will not do anything, today I think that I have a team who suffered an important blow, but at the same time it's the same team who did well at Siena and who has important values. Inter is absolutely a great team, but we are surely not the last team here."
