2 goals from the French forward weren’t enough for AC Milan to win against Napoli: “We had the game under control, but instead… I’m angry and frustrated.”
His brace sealed Milan‘s excellent first half at the Maradona, but Olivier Giroud‘s goals weren’t enough for the Rossoneri to secure three points against Napoli. After the match, the French striker expressed his disappointment in front of the ‘Sport Mediaset‘ microphones: “I’m frustrated and angry about this draw,” he commented.”
In Naples, the Frenchman returned to scoring after five league matches: “For a striker, it’s important to score. I recieved two great crosses from my teammates, and I’m happy. But I’m not 100% satisfied because I wanted to win, the team comes first.”
Milan had opportunities to widen their lead in the first half: “We wanted to bounce back after two defeats, and we needed to take three points because we are Milan. I’m very disappointed tonight. We created a lot. We should have won this game.”
“During halftime, we told ourselves to be ready for the second, because we knew Napoli would play differently, but in the end… Here I am frustrated. After Politano’s goal, they gained confidence and courage, and we didn’t know whether to keep defending or attacking. I’m disappointed,” Giroud reiterated.
“Anger about the substitution? There’s no issue at all. We are human, not robots; we feel emotions. I just wanted to help the team, but there are also teammates who have to play, and I have the utmost respect for everyone. I was just disappointed. I sat there because it was the first place I found.”
