AC Milan boss Vincenzo Montella insists they're meeting their goals.

Milan have lost their last three games.

But Montella says: “I have to think about the initial objectives, which were to create a style of play - not a formation. That's what I was told when I signed for Milan, that I was to try and pull off a sporting miracle in Doha and grow the young players.

“I believe we're in line with our objectives. This is the time for everyone to show - including me - the pride to play for and Coach Milan, for the present and the future.

“Football isn't a sport of equations, and the numbers don't always tell the full story. The team which plays better doesn't always win."
