I think the team made errors that were not forced by the opponent,\u201d Conceicao told Sky Sport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are some behaviours that we are trying to improve\u2026 These are behaviours of football and football school that you learn as a kid.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also miss a lot of goals.

The approach was bad, it was not what we prepared.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Milan, who have earned seven points from their last seven games, sit ninth in the table. They are four points behind eighth-placed Fiorentina and eight off Bologna, who have a game in hand, in fourth.<\/p>\n<p>Despite their disappointment with the result, Milan have gained the most points from losing positions in Serie A this season (16, level with Bologna).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe talk to each other, we prepare the games well. The lads have given me some good signs in these three days,\u201d Conceicao said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the game against Inter, the approach was different, and for 90 minutes, we were balanced.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[There\u2019s] a set of characteristics that players must have and this mentality, personality to enter the game strong to defend this shirt must always be present.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Conceicao\u2019s side held Inter to a 1-1 draw in the first leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final tie on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>With the prospects of securing Champions League football fading, they can earn a spot in the Europa League if they succeed in that competition.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.soccernews.com\/conceicao-unforced-errors-to-blame-for-ac-milan-s-draw-against-fiorentina\/383941\/\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a>SoccerNews<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Soccer Sergio Conceicao said AC Milan paid the price for making unforced errors, meaning they had to come from behind to earn a 2-2 draw against Fiorentina in Serie A.
