Milan had the better chances, insists Galliani

The Rossoneri director felt his side deserved better, but is brimming with confidence ahead of a series of difficult games

AC Milan CEO Adriano Galliani feels Filippo Inzaghi’s men got the better chances in Sunday’s Serie A encounter with rivals Inter and believes they deserved more than a 1-1 draw.

Jeremy Menez gave Milan the lead before the break, but Joel Obi levelled the scoring again after the interval to ensure the Derby della Madonnina ended all square.

“It was a balanced match, but we had the clearer chances. They also struck the bar through [Mauro] Icardi, but [Stephan] El Shaarawy’s chance was clearer,” Galliani told the official Milan website.

“What a shame about the last chance through [Andrea] Poli. If he had shot with his left foot, maybe it would have gone in. And then there was the crossbar by El Shaarawy.”

Irrespective of the two points lost, Galliani saw plenty of positives and is hopeful Milan can keep on growing in the weeks to come.

“We didn’t suffer that much. In defence, with respects to the start, we improved a lot. You can always concede one goal. It seems to me that we’re growing.

“Maybe tomorrow I will appreciate this point. Next Sunday we have an important match against Udinese and then we have Genoa, Napoli and Roma. From now until Christmas we have four sides in the top half of the table, we will have to be alert.”

Milan sit seventh in the Serie A table with 18 points from 12 games.
