AC Milan drew 1-1 with Sassuolo away in Serie A Matchday 6. Rabiot, who scored the goal, was interviewed by Sky Sport Italia after the match.

On the match

Yes, we showed some positive and excellent performances during the match. At times, we executed our tactical setup and the work we needed to do very well. After scoring, we immediately faced two very dangerous threats in front of our goal, and fortunately Maignan made some excellent saves to get us out of trouble. Then we conceded another goal due to a defensive error from a set piece. These situations are really difficult to accept from a tactical and conceptual standpoint.

We still need to review the entire match video carefully and conduct a thorough, comprehensive analysis of every aspect and detail. But in my personal view, overall we played a good match tonight. However, given the quality squad we have and what we've prepared and trained meticulously this week, we should have performed much better. Moreover, Sassuolo is a very strong team with a talented squad that can cause us a lot of difficulties on their pitch; they're a high-quality team, so this match was anything but an easy victory.

But you see, in defending set pieces, we absolutely cannot concede in that manner, because this is exactly what we train and work on almost every single day in our daily sessions. Although these may seem like small details, ultimately, in my opinion, we unnecessarily lost two points because of these details.

By the way, the current league table shows you have 12 points, averaging exactly 2 points per match. Statistically speaking, that's essentially the pace needed to consistently secure a Champions League spot. However, at least from my observation, it seems you're still in a phase of finding a clear tactical identity for the team. Whether in defense or attack, whether playing with three or four defenders, my impression is you haven't yet established a very clear, decisive, and consistent tactical framework...

Yes, but we also make specific adjustments and adaptations based on each opponent. In fact, during midweek training, we implement different tactical arrangements and exercises depending on the specific opponent we're about to face. In my view, the team's ability to flexibly switch between four and three defenders, organize attacks from the back with three or four players, and even try different player combinations to fill positions and adapt to different areas of the pitch, is really quite advantageous.

So clearly, we still have a lot of work to do, and many areas that need to be refined and improved further. But tonight, even with some basic tactical actions we should have easily executed, at the level of technical detail, we made some unnecessary, fundamental mistakes.
