‘That’s the big problem’ – Costacurta picks faults in Milan’s defending vs. Napoli

Alessandro Costacurta has talked through the errors made by AC Milan in the two goals they conceded against Napoli, while speaking about Rafael Leao’s situation.

Milan suffered a big blow to any Scudetto hopes they might have as they were beaten 2-0 by Antonio Conte’s side at San Siro on Tuesday night. Both goals came in the first half for the visitors as Romelu Lukaku got the opener early on and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia doubled the advantage.

Milan fall 11 points behind the Partenopei as a result of the defeat and although they have a game in hand, the feeling is that the title train has left the station without them.

Costacurta was part of the Sky team covering the game and he was asked for his thoughts on the two goals that Milan conceded, as well as the decision to bench Leao again. MilanNews relayed his comments.

Napoli’s first goal: “That’s the big problem. When the ball is intercepted, the two central defenders never work together: on the goal, they are one ahead of the other.

“If Thiaw had moved earlier… That was my role for 30 years… This is a serious mistake. It’s impossible to put Lukaku offside, you’re not alone. If you see that your teammate is slightly behind. In my opinion, Fonseca must train this thing.”
