AC Milan coach Gennaro Gattuso admits they were flat for their 1-1 draw with Udinese.

Krzysztof Piatek's opener was cancelled out by a Kevin Lasagna for Udinese.

“It's a difficult moment, all teams get these during a season. It's easy to talk about tactics and we are trying everything, but it's just not working right now and we mustn't give up," Gattuso told Sky Sport Italia.

“We seemed physically sluggish today, especially after the goal. We must never give up. We keep playing with the handbrake on, like we're afraid of something, and that takes energy away from you, both physical and mental.

“Everyone has ups and downs in a season, so now this is our moment of being down. We've got to stay calm, rediscover our confidence and try to avoid damaging ourselves. When you're not physically sharp, it feels as if the ball weighs 120kg."
