AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli had no complaints about the commitment of his players after their 0-0 draw with Sassuolo.
Rafael Leao hit the post twice on the day.
Pioli said, “We could've had more pace and movement in the first half, but in the second we had about 9-10 shots on goal, we tried everything and it just wasn't going to happen.
“Sassuolo are a good team, we knew they would cause us problems. Rafael Leao did well off the bench, everyone played with effort and generosity, but with a little bit of sharpness and precision, we could've brought home the points.
“We made some technical errors today that can prove very costly indeed at this level. With the more quality we have and the ability to shake off defenders, the better we can do. I think we lacked determination and the ability to finish our chances.
“Our players worked hard today, both in going forward and in tracking back, because Sassuolo play with a very high line. The fact we had 10 clear scoring opportunities means we put in a good performance, but our biggest limitation right now is that we have to create so many chances in order to get a goal. We need to score earlier."
