JAKARTA - AC Milan not only lost to Udinese but also received ridicule from supporters themselves for losing 1-0 in the Italian Serie A match at the San Siro Stadium, Sunday, November 5 in the morning WIB. The supporters' response made coach Stefano Pioli not surprised and considered it reasonable.

The one-goal defeat to Udinese was the poor peak of Milan's performance. This is for the first time Milan have lost in two home games in a row since 2012. At that time, Milan lost to Sampdoria and Atalanta.

Milan's defeat in the home match, one of which was against Juventus. They lost 1-0 which made Juve able to get past Milan.

In the match against Napoli, Stefano Pioli's team had a two-goal lead. But Milan failed to win because Napoli were able to catch up.

Finally, Milan had to admit Udinese's superiority through Roberto Pereira's goal in the 62nd minute. This was the only goal that was created in that match.

The defeat to Udinese did not change Milan's position, which still remains in third place with 22.

But Milan began to be left behind by city rivals Inter Milan, who perched at the top with 28 points after beating Atalanta 2-1.

Meanwhile, Juve, who is in second place, has 23. Juve has the opportunity to stay away from Milan's pursuit if they beat Fiorentina.

The bad result made some players immediately fled to the dressing room and refused to welcome the fans after the match. This became the custom of the Italian teams.

Only captain Davide Calabria, Malick Thiaw, Mike Maignan, Alessandro Florenzi, Yacine Adli, Luka Romero, Tommoso Pobega and Ruben Loftus-Cheek welcomed the fans. While walking towards the Curva Sud stands, the players received ridicule from ultras supporters.

Pobega was the only player on the bench to join the fans. Even in that match, he became a substitute that Pioli did not play.

Pioli called it a natural thing for supporters to ridicule the team. He even considered it fair if supporters acted like that because Milan did not play as expected. More than that, the Rossoneri lost at home.

"What happened, we did play not as expected. The harder we tried, we lost the game. We played badly and were chaotic," said Pioli.

"We have to play better. Of course it's fair if fans mock us. It's only natural that I was the target. This is not an appearance we didn't expect," he said again.

Milan's poor performance is said to have lost a leader like Zlatan Ibrahimovic. After Ibrahimovic retired, no player was able to unite them and have an influence in the dressing room.

But Pioli dismissed if Milan lost a figure like Ibrahimovic. According to him, the team only needed to play better to be able to return to winning.

"You know how I feel about Zlatan. But I don't feel the need for him. I think we have to work better," he said.

The problem is Milan will return to play a difficult match. They will host Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League at the San Siro, Wednesday, November 8 in the morning WIB. Milan lost two mainstay players, Theo Hernandez and Rade Krunic, against PSG.
