AC Milan boss Inzaghi defends striker selection

AC Milan boss Pippo Inzaghi defended his selection after their defeat to Genoa.

Inzaghi went with Jeremy Menez and Giampaolo Pazzini on the day.

On Menez's chances, Inzaghi said: "He probably didn't see Montolivo the first time, on the second was one-on-one with Perin and in the third the other players were well-marked. We try to play and it would've been a real step up for our position in the table, but it's no coincidence Genoa are third and beat Juventus.

"Genoa had gone to a five-man defence and I thought Pazzini's movements in the box would benefit us in that situation. I have many strikers at my disposal and they all deserve to play.
