AC Milan striker Mattia Destro has revealed that he’s happy to have scored his first goal for the Diavolo in their 1-1 draw with Empoli on Sunday but admits that the team must start securing more points.
The Rossoneri’s latest draw with the Azzurri means that they’ve achieved victory just once in their last eight Serie A matches, leaving them in 11th place with 30 points, and the 23-year-old understands that the San Siro outfit will have to earn as many wins as possible in order to fight for a Europa League spot.
Destro spoke to Sky Sport Italia following the draw with Empoli about the match result and his first goal for AC Milan, while also commenting on the club’s need to work much harder for the remainder of the season.
“I’m happy for my goal, but unfortunately we couldn’t win,” said the Italian international.
“We must continue to work in order to bring home more valuable points so we can achieve our goal of returning to Europe.
“In the first half we managed to play well, Empoli were able to do very little. The coach has been working hard during the week, we are far from a Europa League spot.
“We must give a lot more effort to win.”
