Ambrosini says ‘Lecce were better’ but Milan won thanks to great willingness | OneFootball

Massimo Ambrosini was very impressed with AC Milanb’s display against Lecce as they showed a willingness that the away side could match. Despite being inferior football-wise, the Rossoneri thus came away with all three points.

It was a rather slow start to the game by Milan as Lecce did well to exploit space and get close to the penalty box. However, as soon as Alvaro Morata found the back of the net, it was over for the away side and the Rossoneri were able to see out the game.

Speaking to DAZN at the end of yesterday’s game, as cited by MilanNews, Milan legend Massimo Ambrosini shared his thoughts on the performance. He stated that the Rossoneri might have been inferior from a football point of view, but they were more willing.

“Abraham and Morata? The feeling is that they both have energy to spare. Milan are playing this way because they have attackers predisposed to sacrifice, even in a complicated moment like in the first 30 minutes, they remained in it.

“Then Morata’s goal, with his technical ability, made all the difference in the world. Then in the second half, the attitude remained the same. Milan were more willing, but from a footballing point of view, in my opinion, Lecce were even better than Milan”.

That same willingness will certainly be needed next week as the Rossoneri will take on Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League. It will be a very tough game but a response is needed in that competition as well, having now bounced back in the league.
