Mauri: “The score-line doesn’t tell the true story, we are disappointed but Milan played as one”

Jose Mauri believes a draw is not the right result given Milan’s performance against Frosinone and says that he thinks of Donadoni like a father but wants to get a result vs. Bologna.

Jose Mauri got his second start in a row in midfield but Milan once again failed to win as despite showing spirit and determination vs. Frosinone, they didn’t manage to overturn a 3-1 disadvantage into anything more than a draw.

“I am proud about making my first league start at the San Siro, but today’s result means I am only partially satisfied,” he told the Milan Channel after the game. “We attacked for the entire match and the score-line doesn’t tell the true story. A team like Frosinone cannot come to Milan and score three goals.

“We are disappointed but their goalkeeper made some incredible saves & we played as one right until the final whistle. Their free-kick? It should have been taken at least two meters further back. My performance? I’m a player that likes to get forward. Today I didn’t have any shots, but I hope in the coming matches to be more dangerous. Club issues? I am not focusing on matters behind the scenes at the club.

“My role is to train and give my all. Roberto Donadoni (who coached him at Parma)? He has been the most important figure in my career. He was like a father as well as coach and I hope I can do well against Bologna. I am hoping we can get a good result for everyone at the club and all the fans.”

Due to today’s draw and Sassuolo’s win over Hellas Verona, Milan are now in 7th place and they will need to either win back 6th or win the Coppa Italia final to be in Europe next season.
