AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli was delighted with their 2-1 win at Roma.
Franck Kessie and Ante Rebic struck for the 2-1 triumph.
Pioli said, "I told the team that two negative games cannot make us lose the confidence we built together for over a year.
“We hoped to do better over the last two weeks, but the fact we didn't should just give us more motivation. Our first half was extraordinary, we could've scored more goals. It was a game with a high tempo and intensity, the kind we like to play.
“It was up against a very strong Roma side, so conceding a goal can happen, but the lads deserve praise.
“We are still a young team, we cannot have all the nous that a more mature side can put into a game. There is some naivete, but we have 17 more points in the table than at this stage last season, we're in the Europa League Round of 16 and have played more games than anyone else.
“I don't forget we are the youngest squad in Serie A. We were fully aware that we weren't ourselves against Spezia and Inter."
