9 Aug 2009- Milan were defeated 6-5 on penalties by Benfica last night, after a 1-1 draw in normal time, to deal the Rossoneri another pre-season blow, but coach Leonardo remained typically upbeat."Apart from the first few minutes, the defence played well, the two centre backs are finding a mutual understanding," the coach told La Gazzetta Dello Sport."I saw some good movement up front, although Pato needs to improve physically. [Ronaldinho] needs to do more and be more consistent," he continued, warning 'Dinho' that he owes no allegiance to his Brazilian compatriot with multimillion signing Klaas-Jan Huntelaar waiting for his chance."I was pleased with our reaction in the second half. Considering the hard work we put in during the week and the absentees, on balance it [the game] was positive."After a disastrous pre-season so far, including defeats to Inter and Chelsea, Leonardo has his work cut out ahead of the new campaign.
The Rossoneri's actions in the transfer market are not yet over, however, and there could be new defensive arrivals at Milanello before the start of the season.
