inspired AC Milan to victory over Chievo with a half-
time outburst.
A half-time dressing down from head coach Sinisa Mihajlovic
inspired AC Milan to beat Chievo 1-0 on Wednesday, according
to midfielder Andrea Bertolacci.
The Rossoneri failed to create many chances of note in the first
half and went into the break scoreless.
Stern words from Mihajlovic at the interval had the desired
impact, Luca Antonelli netting the only goal of the game as
Milan secured a first clean sheet of the Serie A campaign.
"In the locker room we received a bit of a dressing down from
the coach," Bertolacci told Corriere dello Sport.
"What was going wrong? A little bit of everything: we were too
passive, we didn't go and press Chievo.
"In the second half we made things hard for them, though, and
in the end we deserved to win by a bigger margin."
Bertolacci has been struggling to make much of an impact in his
first few months at Milan - who travel to Lazio this weekend -
after his transfer from Roma, but he is confident he will find his
feet once he is full settled.
He said: "It's always taken me time to get into peak condition,
even with my former teams.
"But moving from Genoa to Milan [via Roma] has certainly
played its part.
"However, this is all part of my growth process as a player and
my form has clearly improved lately."
