AC Milan chief Paolo Maldini insists they should stay calm after their 1-1 draw at Cagliari.

Gonzalo Higuain grabbed his first goal for Milan for the result.

Maldini told RMC: "We are only in our third game of the season, it is a team that has a lot of work to do to reach the goals set at the beginning of the year.

"In the long term we have to improve on the physical level: when you are stronger technically, you have to be ready also physically."

On Higuain, he added: "Yes, it is a positive note, there are many others: for Pipita, as for all the great strikers, the goal is everything, we are all happy, he would have been a driver even if he had not scored."
