AC Milan midfielder Youssouf Fofana admits they went super defensive for Saturday's 0-0 draw with Juventus at San Siro.
Fofana concedes it was all about not allowing Juve to score over the 90-plus minutes.

He said afterwards: "It was a chess game. There weren't many chances, but a lot of battle in the middle of the field. A game I didn't want to play.
"The problems are different from match to match.
"Every time Juve lost the ball they ran backwards to close down. Imagine if you conceded a goal: the game is over. We tried. We had balance. OK, we are Milan, we are playing at home, but we also have to see who is in front of us."
