Costacurta: Milan ‘must not repeat’ error made against Pisa

Milan legend Alessandro Costacurta argues that the Rossoneri tend to be less focused and clinical against teams in the bottom half of the table: ‘It’s an error they must not repeat.’

Milan were held to a 2-2 draw by newly promoted side Pisa at San Siro on Friday night, missing the chance to move four points clear of second-placed Napoli, Inter and Roma.

Rafael Leao had given Milan the lead early in the first half, with his third goal in three appearances, but Pisa turned the game around after the break through a Juan Cuadrado penalty kick and M’Bala Nzola’s goal.

Only a Zachary Athekame goal in the stoppages, his first one for Milan, allowed the Rossoneri to avoid defeat.

Questioned on which team had the most regrets after the draw, Costacurta showed no hesitation: “Milan. They wasted a big chance,” he told Sky Sport, via TMW.

“They were satisfied with the result, and it’s an error they must not repeat. It looked like the first game against Cremonese. These are two clues; against certain opponents, Milan are unable to be focused and clinical.”

Milan’s next game is just around the corner as the Rossoneri will visit Atalanta in a mid-week Serie A Round on Tuesday.
