Seedorf questions some of Milan’s choices in Dortmund draw: 'A bit random'

Clarence Seedorf was not a big admirers of AC Milan’s performance against Borussia Dortmund last night, describing it as a bit ‘random’.

Both sides had big chances in both halves to win the game at the Signal Iduna Park, with Olivier Giroud perhaps having Milan’s best opportunity in the first half and Samuel Chukwueze having two good opportunities of his own when the game stretched out a bit.

Seedorf gave his thoughts on the game as a pundit for Prime Video and he began with a response to Rafael Leao’s assessment of the draw, with his comments relayed by PianetaMilan.

“I liked Leao’s analysis. In the opportunities they had, Milan had to take advantage, clearly one always tries,” he began.

“But I think that Milan’s match wasn’t as lucid, it wasn’t as courageous as it should have been because, when they broke up in the last few minutes, it was also seen that you split the opposing team, you bring them out more. Now it’s up to them to get a result in Paris, for sure,” he said.

“There is also a bit of regret, because Milan – with how much they pushed – opened up and believed in it a little more, they were superior. Maybe it’s the team that is actually superior, but they have to believe in it from the beginning.

“The tactic was: let’s limit the opposing team and try to make counter-attacks and take advantage of the opportunities. I always say: the more chances you manage to create, the more you increase the chance of scoring.

“Theo Hernandez’s choice to go straight for straight, Leao who also goes straight for straight, not to open the field and leave space and have the opposing defenders make a decision what to do… It’s a bit random.

“These are the details that can make the difference, because it’s not certain that then you will find another opportunity like this.”

It is another point and another clean sheet for the Rossoneri, who now sit third in the group with two points, two behind leaders Newcastle United and one behind PSG who they play away and home in the next two games.
