Milan midfielder Ardon Jashari has harshly analyzed the 2-0 defeat against Benfica at San Siro, taking direct responsibility for the opponent's first goal and demanding an immediate change of pace from the team.
The Swiss of Albanian origin spoke without filters after the defeat in the season debut in the Europa League, pointing to the lack of sporting aggressiveness: "If we are smart and have spirit from the first seconds, fine, but if we do the s*t and give things to the opponent, this does not depend on the project."
In addition to the general appeal for the insufficient performance and the lack of attacking actions in depth, the midfielder admitted his individual mistake in the Portuguese advantage goal after reviewing the footage of the match: "It was my responsibility to be closer to Lukebakio. I ran back, but he shouldn't have entered so easily, I should have stayed closer to my teammate and closed it better," were his words to Sky.
