Brocchi Denies 'Losing Mentality' The Milan midfielder rebuffed the claims that the Rossoneri do not have a winning mentality anymore and that the draw against Lazio was not due to fear of losing.

Christian Brocchi commented his side's dull goalless draw at the Olimpico stadium of Rome on Sunday evening, which left the distance between the two clubs unvaried.

"It was a bit of a strange match, we were unable to create many chances. Lazio closed itself well and we did not manage to find the right spaces.

"However, a month, a month and a half ago, we would have probably lost a match like this. Now we are still a bit tired for the preparation, but we shall take advantage of it later on, in the crucial moment, and this is a good thing."

Some critics pointed out that the Rossoneri did not give their best against Lazio for fear of ending 6 points behind the Biancocelesti, a theory which Brocchi quickly denied.

"No, Milan did not fear of going -6 points from Lazio, we're not used to having a 'losing' mentality. Maybe Lazio thought this, as they needed a draw to keep the distance unvaried. In fact a strange match came out of it."
