**Samuele Ricci did not get long on the pitch for AC Milan tonight, but he helped the Rossoneri see out a 0-0 draw with Juventus, which has pleased the squad.**
When Massimiliano Allegri came into the picture this season, it was clear that Milan were going to become a more defensively orientated team. So, this result is not the first of its kind, nor will it be the last presuming his tenure extends past this season.
[**The draw with Juventus**](https://sempremilan.com/ac-milan-0-0-juventus-match-report-2) was their 15th clean sheet of the season and second in a row after the last game at San Siro saw them get hammered by Udinese, where they conceded three goals. In other words, a return to normality.
Ricci analyses Milan’s strengths
--------------------------------
Allegri’s side have been [**one of the best defences in Europe this season**](https://sempremilan.com/bonus-podcast-why-milans-defence-best) and this was another showing of that. Though, you could argue they were helped by Juventus’ equal lack of drive to win the game.
Speaking at full-time, Ricci praised his teammates for another clean sheet, as MilanNews relays from his chat with MilanTV.
**About tonight’s match…**
“It was a good, evenly matched game. Perhaps we were a bit slow at the start, but then we improved and played well. I think it was a fair draw.”
**On Milan and what to improve…**
“Defensiveness is our strong point, but maybe we need to be more consistent up front. The important thing at the start of the season was to maintain defensive solidity, but today was a complete match from every perspective.”
**The objective is the Champions League?**
“Yes, it’s been our goal from the start. We’re doing well in the standings now, but it’s not over yet.”
