AC Milan and Inter were forced to settle for a point in what was a dramatic derby at San Siro last night between two teams who fought until the end.
As MilanNews writes, Milan can feel disappointed that they were unable to see out the five minutes of added time to claim a third straight win against their neighbours, yet Inter also hit the post three times and can feel a bit unlucky.
What happened after the game? Sergio Conceicao revealed everything in his press conference: “Honestly, if they ask me if the draw is fair, I say yes, but I saw two important signs: when I arrived in the dressing room, I saw my players very disappointed and sad, while there was great joy among the Inter players.”
It must be a sign for the Rossoneri that with a certain mentality, you can get a result against anyone. In particular, Fikayo Tomori was truly very disappointed by the final result; the Englishman, after choosing to stay at Milan and having played a great game in the derby, expected to celebrate everything with a victory.
He only came close, as did his team-mates. The one to console Tomori and give heart to the entire dressing room was the latest arrival, Kyle Walker, who gave a solid performance in his debut at San Siro.
Credit must be given for the character displayed by the Rossoneri throughout the 90 minutes, in stark contrast to the listless performance seen just a few days ago in Zagreb, showing this team is capable of going from one extreme to the other in terms of spirit.
Tijjani Reijnders also underlined this: “We fought as a team tonight: that’s the spirit we should have in every match. In Croatia we weren’t like that. We need to have this fighting mentality always, because then the quality comes by itself.”
