Musah ‘still optimistic’ about Milan’s title hopes despite defeat to Napoli | OneFootball

Yunus Musah is not giving up on AC Milan’s Scudetto hopes despite the damaging 2-0 defeat to Napoli at San Siro last night.

Milan suffered a big blow to any title dreams they might still harbour during last night’s loss to the league-leaders. Both of the goals came in the first half for the visitors as Romelu Lukaku got the opener early on and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia doubled the advantage just before the break.

Alvaro Morata’s offside goal was the closest that the Rossoneri got to putting a dent in Napoli’s lead as the saw out the second half with relative comfort, padding out their lead at the top of the table to seven points and leaving Milan 11 behind them.

Musah spoke to Mediaset after the full-time whistle to analyse what was a difficult night for the team but trying to pick out the positives, with his words coming via MilanNews.

How do you assess the defeat?

“Against these teams you have to take advantage of the chances, they did it with the few they had, while we didn’t do it with the many we had.”

There were more defensive errors on show…

“We have to be more aggressive in those situations. On Kvara’s goal we shouldn’t have let them in so easily, but it was a great goal anyway. They were good at taking advantage of the few chances they had.”
