The Rossoneri threw away a winning position in
Bergamo and extended their winless Serie A run to four games, and the
trainer was incensed by the display
AC Milan coach Sinisa Mihajlovic voiced
his anger with his side's performance in Sunday's 2-1 away defeat at
the hands of Atalanta and has consequently put his team in a training
retreat until next week's game against Juventus.
Luiz Alberto converted a penalty early on to give Milan the lead, but
Mauricio Pinilla levelled the scoring in the 44th minute with an
acrobatic overhead kick, before Alejandro Gomez helped Atalanta to
victory after the break.
Mihajlovic was not impressed with Sunday's display and has taken action in an attempt to get back on track in Serie A.
"Two points in four games in unacceptable," the Milan coach said at a
news conference. "I apologise to the fans and I take the
responsibility.
"We will now go into a training retreat until the situation improves.
I warned the team that things had to go differently. We now have to
look over our shoulders and we face Juve next. Nothing can be taken for
granted in football. We have to play with the right attitude.
"We are going into a training retreat to sort things out and try and
find a solution. If after 31 rounds of the Serie A season I am still
here saying the same things it means that there are weaknesses. There
are clearly areas that even with training and commitment we're not able
to improve.
"If you don't fight, you cannot win. We weren't determined or
spirited enough. The match speaks for itself and it's pointless
repeating the same things. We were lucky to take the lead but we then
should have stepped things up a gear and killed off the contest. We
didn't do that and it's not the first time this season."
