Unlikely they can catch Inter’- Capello offers damning Milan criticism after Roma draw

Unfortunately, it seems Fabio Capello has given up on the idea of AC Milan winning the Scudetto this season, after they drew 1-1 with Roma.

The draw in Rome has certainly knocked the spirit of some Milan fans. Whilst it is another game unbeaten and another decent result against a Champions League contender, the Rossoneri never looked like a massive threat.

Instead, their goal arrived from a corner, and barring that, chances were slim. In fact, there were only two shots on goal in the game, one from Koni De Winter and the other from Adrien Rabiot.

Capello’s criticism
Whilst the game has not killed their chances of winning the title, Inter now have a five-point lead, which may be too much to overcome in the final 16 games of the season. Capello, speaking to Radio Anch’io Sport on RadioUno after the game, stated that it may now be too much for Massimiliano Allegri’s men.

“Yesterday, Milan played a defeatist first half, lacking vision. I liked Roma; they created a lot and could have been two or three goals ahead, and they had plenty of chances. They seem like a team that plays by trial and error. And I’m surprised that the two attackers were passive without the ball,”

“It was a Milan side lacking personality, and without that character that shows itself in every match as a team confident in its own strength, I think it’s difficult for them to catch Inter, who instead have a unique personality.

“Milan gave me the illusion of having reached a level of play that, however, they completely lost yesterday.”
