"Even though AC Milan were a goal to the good against Pisa, Massimiliano Allegri was not pleased with his team at half-time in the game. Rafael Leao's strike in the seventh minute had many Milan fans thinking they could be on their way to another win. However, the game did not follow that path. Instead, the Rossoneri failed to convert chances and went into the half only a goal ahead."
"The second half followed much of the same pattern, so when the visitors grabbed two goals in 26 minutes, it seemed like the Rossoneri would be done for the evening. A late Zachary Athekame finish levelled the scoring, though, thankfully. After the game, Allegri's frustrations were certainly noticeable, even if he stated that he was 'happy' with the draw. Perhaps this was due to his half-time team talk having little effect, with Carlo Pellegatti, via Radio Rossonera, stating that he gave an angry talk to the team during the interval."
""Overall, it wasn't a good Milan: the absences are starting to make you think, there were a lot of technical errors. I've been told Allegri was very angry between the first and second halves, but despite this, little changed in the second half. But we paid the price for the absences of Pulisic and Rabiot: in the long run, these absences have to be paid for.""
AC Milan took an early lead through Rafael Leao but failed to convert further chances and went into half only one goal ahead. The visitors scored twice in a 26-minute spell in the second half, threatening Milan's result until Zachary Athekame scored late to level the game. Allegri showed visible frustration after the match despite describing himself as 'happy' with the draw. Comments from Carlo Pellegatti noted an angry half-time talk and highlighted technical errors linked to the absences of Pulisic and Rabiot, suggesting those absences are beginning to be costly.
