In the post-match of Chievo-Milan, Rossoneri defender Ignazio Abate vented to the microphones of Sky Sport about yet another false step by the Diavolo.
On the result.
Definitely not a good day for us. We started badly, under pace, we adjusted to their pace. Then in the second half we tried to do something more from the point of view of aggressiveness we definitely did better in the second half, but obviously not enough.
A psychological issue?

We are always here every time telling ourselves the same things, leaving points on the road on fields that are certainly not easy, but within reach. If we don’t all have that nastiness, that desire and that ambition that gets you to the top we won’t go anywhere. Now we have nine difficult games ahead of us because if we don’t change our heads a little we will struggle with all of them. There is an Italian Cup final to play. This is a team that can’t afford not to run. Our goal is to catch someone up there in front. we must not settle for sixth place, otherwise we risk that as well. We have to honor this jersey and spit blood until the end. The plug must remain attached, otherwise it will be difficult to reattach it at the end of the year.
