MILAN Dustin Brown Kings Jersey , Jan. 12 (Xinhua) -- AC Milan head coach suggested something strange in his side's 4-3 loss at Sassuolo on Sunday.
Domenico Berardi scored all of the hosts' goals to inflict the strange loss on Milan who were once 2-0 ahead in the first half.
"It's an ugly defeat, a strange one because we were 2-0 up after 13 minutes and it all seemed easy. We conceded three goals, almost all identical, in the first half," Allegri said.
"Sassuolo played good football, but we played badly as a team and as individuals with too many mistakes. You can't score three goals and then concede four this way. I am curious to watch the game back, as it was so strange. We had prepared on their crosses, but got it wrong defending them anyway Anze Kopitar Kings Jersey ," he said.
"Unfortunately we emerged with another defeat tonight against a smart and talented Sassuolo side and we did not defend well enough. You can concede goals, that can happen, but not like this," he added.

Global tablet computer sales are expected to slow for the first time in history this year, overtaken by sales of ever-more versatile smartphones, according to a slew of figures being released.
According to the forecast by research firm International Data Corporation Drew Doughty Kings Jersey , the tablet market is expected to show sales growth of 7.2 percent for the full year, against 52.5 percent in 2013. At the core of the slowdown is the once iconic Apple iPad, with its shipments expected to show their first ever decline in numbers.
Separate numbers released by multinational technology consultancy Gartner Inc estimate tablet sales worldwide will hit 229 million units in 2014, an 11 percent rise on a year earlier but a shadow of the annual 55 percent growth recorded in December 2013.
In China, a study by Beijing-based Internet consultancy Enfodesk shows that 1.56 million tablets were sold over the first three quarters of 2014, down 8.6 percent compared to the figure collected for the second quarter.
Experts say the most influential development in the sector has been the introduction of larger-screen smartphones, the most notable examples being Apple's iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, both of which were launched in September 2014.
Thanks to its "save-for-later" reading and video application Jeff Carter Youth Jersey , Pocket, users who have upgraded to an iPhone 6 are now reported to be spending an average 72 percent of their reading time on their smartphones this year, a massive 55 percent increase in the time spent before the change. That jumps again to 80 percent for those using the iPhone 6 Plus. The latest figures suggest just 28 percent of electronic device users' "reading time" is now being spent on tablets.
IDC experts say, however, that the rapid decline in tablet sales is no great surprise, given that their life spans are actually lengthening.
"In the early days of the tablet market, device life cycles were expected to resemble those of smartphones, with replacement occurring every two to three years Tyler Toffoli Youth Jersey ," says Ryan Reith, program director with IDC's Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Device Trackers.
"But what has played out instead is that many tablet owners are holding onto their devices for more than three years and in some instances more than four.
"We believe the two major drivers for these longer than expected tablet lifecycles are legacy software support for older products, especially within iOS, and the increased use of smartphones for a variety of other computing tasks", making tablet upgrades less necessary as users stay on the faster treadmill of phone upgrades.
Ranjit Atwal, research director at Gartner, adds that if customers do decide to upgrade, fewer tablet users are now replacing their tablets with another Tanner Pearson Youth Jersey , favoring instead "hybrid or two-in-one devices", which have increased their share of what experts call the ultramobile premium market to 22 percent in 2014, which is expected to rise to 32 percent by 2018.
