Milan manager Gennaro Gattuso admitted that his team was struggling with end-of-season fatigue after being tied 1-1 by spirited Udinese in San Siro on Tuesday night.
The second half of Kevin Lasagna guaranteed that the opening of the score of Krzysztof Piatek in Milan would not be enough for a point while the Rossoneri have missed the opportunity to open the gap between them and fifth place, Lazio, with six points.
The Italian coach claimed that the recent gloomy and uninteresting performance of his team is a serious symptom of the team's current recession, which has seen Milan win none of its last three Serie A matches.
Gattuso told Sky Sport Italia: (quoted by Football-Italia)"It's a tough time, all teams get it in a season. It's easy to talk about tactics and we try everything, but it just does not work right now and we should not give up, "
"We looked physically morose today, especially after the goal. We must never give up. We continue to play with the handbrake, as if we were afraid of something, and it takes away energy, both physical and mental.
"Everyone has ups and downs in a season, so now it's our time to be down." We must remain calm, regain our confidence and try not to hurt ourselves. When you are not physically sharp, the ball weighs 120 kg."
We can say that the worst result on Tuesday night was the addition of two other key names to the list of injured in Milan, Gianluigi Donnarumma and Lucas Paqueta both limped during the first half of the match.
Gattuso said of his growing losses: "Franck Kessie stopped training after just 10 minutes yesterday. He pbaded a fitness test this morning, while in the afternoon the medical tests revealed an inflammation, so we did not want to risk it.
"[Lucas] Paqueta had a nasty sprained ankle that was clean even on contact. Suso had a kick yesterday and this morning. He has not trained, but we hope to have against Juve. We will evaluate [Gianluigi] Donnarumma tomorrow too.
