Ghana ace Michael Essien is encouraged by Milanââ¬â¢s performance in the derby with Inter and rues the Rossoneriââ¬â¢s missed opportunity to win the game.
Both sides spurned goalscoring chances during Sundayââ¬â¢s League derby, which ultimately ended 1-1.
ââ¬ÅIt was a tough match but we played a good game,â⬠Essien has commented today to Milan Channel ahead of training.
ââ¬ÅWe also had the chance to win, but unfortunately we did not succeed. At San Siro it was a great atmosphere.
ââ¬ÅThere were some good moves from the team, I was very happy for the goal Menez scored.
ââ¬ÅEl Shaarawy had a great chance to win the derby for us, but now we must only think of the next match.ââ¬
That is against Udinese and could see Riccardo Montolivo step up his recovery after several months out with a broken leg.
ââ¬ÅEvery match is difficult. We have to try to win and bring home the three points.
ââ¬ÅMontolivoââ¬â¢s return is very important for us, he is our captain and we are pleased for his return to the field.ââ¬
