After taking a two goal lead, Milan ended up losing their first match of the season against Napoli at the San Paolo. The rossoneri’s sporting director Leonardo spoke to Sky Sport at the end of game:”We were able to get a two goal lead, so losing a match like this is always hard. However some positive things remain, we played against a team that got to 91 points and now has a great manager. The 2-1 was the key moment, then Mertens came on
Leonardo was also asked how his team can improve:”It’s also a matter of mentality. These are things that will come with time, we are at the beginning but I see a team that is very willing. The club has gone through significant changes, structural and also vision wise. It’s normal to start the season like this. We are coming off two sixth place finishes and we need to improve in the way we manage over 90 minutes”
