AC Milan boss Inzaghi sees improvement in Liverpool defeat

AC Milan boss Pippo Inzaghi isn't panicking after their latest defeat on tour to Liverpool.

It has been a disastrous US pre-season tour for the Rossoneri, who also lost 3-0 to Olympiacos and 5-1 against Manchester City.

"It's a shame about the undeserved 2-0 defeat, but this was the response I was looking for," the Coach told acmilan.com.

"It was a good reaction, I am happy with my lads and do not remember our goalkeeper making a save, whereas Simon Mignolet was called into action.

"In the second half we played 30 minutes at a very high level and the second goal was excessive punishment.

"We must continue with this spirit and this desire. I can only tell my lads to continue along this path, then once the season begins our true value will emerge."

Inzaghi added: "While in the other games we struggled, here we played on a par with one of the best teams in Europe.

"We're starting to see traces of the Milan I want, especially in terms of determination. There is a good spirit and we have to work from there.

"This team needs to shake off some of the fear and anxiety from last season and I think this game can help give a lot of confidence."
