AC Milan boss Inzaghi: Juventus simply too good

AC Milan boss Pippo Inzaghi admits Juventus were deserved winners last night.

The Rossoneri saw their 100 per cent record ended by a Carlos Tevez strike at San Siro.

"I was angry because we really hoped that we'd be up to the level of an extraordinary team," he told Sky Sport Italia.

"I told the players I am satisfied, as after two rounds we can't be on the same level as one of the strongest teams in Europe.

"If Honda's header had gone in, the game would've changed. We put two strikers on and tried to get back into it, but to no avail.

"Tonight should give us the awareness that taking it one game at a time we can grow and get closer to Juve and Roma, who have something more than the others.

"The goal was created by two great champions who decided a game that otherwise may well have ended 0-0 for a positive point. The defence had a great game tonight and closed off most of those runs.

"We are all disappointed not to get a result, but at the same time taking points off a side that won the Scudetto three years in a row and last season had 50 more points than us was asking a bit too much.

"We tried to double up the marking. Menez played an incredible game despite not being 100 per cent fit, so we should be happy with our performance, in my view."
