Milan don’t impress Berlusconi
Monday 8 November, 2004
Milan’s 1-1 draw with Roma last night has annoyed Rossoneri President Silvio Berlusconi.
"We gave Juventus a great gift," he stated given that the League leaders had surprisingly lost 2-1 at Reggina on Saturday.
"We needed to take advantage of that loss," he added. "We created at least seven really good opportunities but failed to finish them off.
"This is what happens in football sometimes. We were obliged to win but we wasted far too much. We were also a bit lucky in the second half."
Milan made a blistering start to the game as they dominated the early exchanges, scoring through Andriy Shevchenko.
But a young Roma side, after the early substitution of Marco Delvecchio, settled down to grab a point.
Despite Christian Panucci and Antonio Cassano still being ignored, Vincenzo Montella netted again to grab a draw.
