AC Milan boss Sinisa Mihajlovic admits they were fortunate to overcome Empoli 2-1 yesterday.

Carlos Bacca struck for Milan in the win.

“We did not deserve to win," said Mihajlovic.

“Nothing has changed from last season. There was too much fear. After Empoli scored there was a total blackout.

“The only reason we won was thanks to the two strikers who got goals out of nowhere.

“The only thing to save about tonight was the result. We did relatively well until we conceded the goal, then we just collapsed.

“The team was too timorous and the only difference from last season was the two strikers who created something out of nothing.

“We above all have to work on our minds. We work well during the week and train properly, then in the game the strikers make the right movements and are never given the ball.

“We have to do something on a psychological level, because we cannot go on like this. We're strong in attack, but they need service, otherwise they won't score."
