Roma Coach Claudio Ranieri Praises Milan After Draw
There were no goals at the Olimpico...
By Arjun Miglani
Speaking to SKY, Ranieri said, "We were a little tired, and Pizarro and De Rossi were not in perfect condition."
"We started well, but then Milan started controlling the ball and it was difficult to win it back. In the first half we didn't give them much, and in the second they had two chances.
"Leonardo is an excellent person, he is good for football.
"They have players of high quality, who play with one or two touches, and I wish them well against Manchester."
Roma remain three points behind Milan, in third place.
