Carlo Ancelotti has criticised Alberto Gilardino’s San Siro performance and thought Milan deserved a penalty.
“We had some good opportunities in the first half, but did not do well enough to convert them,” he said of their 0-0 with Torino.
“When you can’t break the deadlock, especially at the moment, you later get into trouble. Gilardino was not as precise and sharp as he was on Wednesday. It is not a positive time for him on home turf.”
Gila netted a brace in the 5-0 victory away to Sampdoria midweek, but the Rossoneri are still without a Serie A win in front of their own fans.
“These are games where it is not easy to find space and that is what this team needs, especially when it comes to Kaka,” continued the Coach.
There have been calls to shelve the Christmas tree formation, but Ancelotti assures he is taking the correct approach.
“I think that Massimo Ambrosini is an important figure, as he guarantees push from the midfield. Playing with two upfront could be helpful to create some more movement off the ball, so when Ronaldo returns from injury we can try that.”
There was a controversial incident as Ambrosini appeared to be shoulder-charged off the ball inside the penalty area.
“During the match I did not see that, but looking at the video footage it does seem like a spot-kick. That’s a shame.”
