Fabio Borini experienced a “painful” defeat as Milan capitulated 3-2 to Inter in the Derby della Madonnina. “We played such a great game.”
Suso and Jack Bonaventura had twice pegged their city rivals back for a draw, but Mauro Icardi completed his hat-trick with a 90th-minute penalty.
“This result is really painful,” confessed the forward-turned-wing-back on Milan TV.
“We played such a great game and it was decided by unlucky incidents during our best moments of the match. We have to look forward, it’s all we can do now.”
The match seemed to change in the second half when Patrick Cutrone replaced Franck Kessie and Borini pushed into a more advanced role.
“It wasn’t an issue of attitude. In Italy, the first half is usually focused on defending, while in the second we stepped it up with more aggression, pressing them and causing Inter problems.”
Following Andrea Conti’s ACL injury, Borini was moved to this new wing-back role and has proved surprisingly effective.
“The compliments are pleasing. It’s because of hard work, as I train every day as if it was a match situation.”

I'm hoping it's flexible where Bona and Suso play in between the channels instead of the middle

Milan is basically playing with 9 players. André and Suso are just standing still in the front and rarely get any balls.

Who is Bonucci marking? How can you end up in a situation with your back to a striker like Icardi while not even being in a position to block a cross or being able to tackle the striker...

Superb performance from Icardi and Handanovic today. Much respect to both players.

Suso out wide is one of the best players in the Serie A, I'm really not convinced by him at CF though. Seems to get dispossessed too easily.
