Milan coach Marco Giampaolo spoke to the media after being defeated 3-1 at home by Fiorentina. There was a heavy atmosphere around the coach, who has lost three straight with the rossoneri. His comments: "Three days ago we played with a lot of personality. I saw hints of things that I liked. Tonight we played poorly as individuals and with little arrangement. We have young players who are acting individually and this is the source of the problem. We felt the weight of the match, one we had to win, and even though I reassured the players in the locker room ahead of time, we were timid and mentally frayed."
The fans? They are used to a lot more, so their protests are valid. I don't have anything to tell them, we must push on in spite of this. The future? I must focus on getting the most from my players. I haven't spoken to the directors, I accept all responsibility but I will move ahead with conviction in my ideas."
