Claudio Lanieri revealed what he told Milan manager Sergio Conseicao after Rome’s 3-1 Coppa Italia quarter-final defeat, pointing out that expectations are rising rapidly. “When I arrived, don’t forget where this side was.”
Galorossi was haunted by ghosts from the past. Because Tammy Abraham is still owned by them and is only available for loan in Milan, but he bagged the first half brace against his previous club.
Artem Dovbyk was immediately influenced by getting out of the bench and bundling it into the line from close range, but Joao Felix is an even more effective alternative, with a fun lob on Rossoneri’s debut after his move from Chelsea. I scored.
“First of all, we have to congratulate Milan on the incredible quality, especially the way they move around constantly,” Ranieri told Sports Media Set.
“I mean there’s no regrets. I simply recognize that I lost to a great team. We tried everything, pinned them towards the end of the first half and hit the crossbar. . .
“It happens when you’re pushing very hard and something goes wrong in the back. We told ourselves not to admit a counterattack this time, but when we’re faced with that level of quality. It’s easier than that.”

Tijjani Reijnders nodded Devyne Rensch’s cross 3-2 to his net, but in the build-up it was not allowed on offsides on the near roof.
“If they have regrets, they’ll be on a 10cm offside, perhaps because it sets a tense finale and may have given Milan some nightmares about the late equalizer of the Derby. But you could say When you give it everything and fight to the end, you have to accept it all,” Ranieri added.
Coach Pandi Christian Panucci told me that Roma lacked finding Paulo Dybala among the lines tonight.
“I absolutely agreed with this analysis and was very upset with them. I always want to have a fast vertical pass, but having these young people have three coaches in a single season It’s not easy either.
“It’s true that today, we couldn’t pass it as usual. Dybala was not found before he was marked, making some mistakes and Milan had a great performance. I helped.”
Coppa Italia ends here for Rome, but they are still in the playoffs of the Europa League and are about to climb the Serie A table.
“When people said they had to beat Coppa Italia, they had to win the Europa League, they had to climb to the table, I love it,” Ranieri laughed. “When I arrived, don’t forget where this side was.
“Now I want to know how the team reacts. We’re traveling to difficult aspects like Venice, as they tend to lose only one goal margin. , I want to see what kind of mind and attitude my players have next.
“We want to realize that we are doing our best. Before Sunday, we got our fourth best results since I took over, and now it’s fifth. , meaning the team is doing their job.”
Ranieri apparently accepted Sergio Concicao after the final whisper and told him he had “settled” the Milan team.
“Yes, I congratulated him because his team is playing well. I’m honestly not going to say what I feel and honor my opponent.”
