Udinese deserved more against AC Milan, says Francesco Guidolin
The Zebrette boss is disappointed his side lacked the ruthlessness to build on Di Natale's first half strike, but is adamant they showed enough to warrant at least a point

Udinese coach Francesco Guidolin feels his team deserved more from their 2-1 reverse to Serie A rivals AC Milan on Saturday.
The Friuli-based outfit surrendered an early lead, courtesy of Antonio Di Natale's 19th-minute goal, as a pair of second half strikes from Rossoneri consigned them to a eventual defeat, and the 56-year-old admits his players should have showed more maturity while in control of the match.
"We conceded two goals on the counterattack," Guidolin told Sky Sport Italia. "If we had been more cautious in couple of circumstances, Milan would have struggled.
"We had to show maturity - say the result finished 1-1, it would have been a good result, although we deserved more.
"We went forward in an attempt to put things right but they punished us, and AC Milan can punish you at any time. We must try to recover quickly."
Udinese remain fourth in the Serie A standings, but have fallen six points behind AC Milan at the league summit.
