The Rossoneri had won five consecutive matches, before drawing 0-0 at the Stadio Sant' Elia against lowly Cagliari on Sunday evening. Milan struggled to breakdown the relegation contenders, but Paolo Maldini does not believe the result is any reason for the fans to worry.
"You cannot always play well," said Maldini, who is expecting to retire at the end of this season. "We are a team that's very organized and are providing some continuity. I think that after the nice round of victories that we achieved, we are allowed to come home from Cagliari with just a point."
Milan did start off the season by losing their first two Serie A matches, but have now turned it around with 10 points in their last four games. The Rossoneri however, struggled to create scoring opportunities on Sunday, just as they did against Bologna and Genoa earlier in the season.
"Certainly not having a centre forward is a problem," claimed Maldini, referring to the injury enforced absence of Marco Borriello. "Playing without such a position is now a prerogative of our team and so we play with a rectangle (in attack)."
Now, Milan may recover some of their injured personnel as there is an international break due to the upcoming World Cup qualifiers. The Rossoneri return to action on October 19th to face Sampdoria at the San Siro.
