The full picture
Udinese coach Kosta Runjaic stated that his team was 'full of life' despite suffering a sixth consecutive Serie A defeat to Milan, and that it was 'not the right time' to discuss his future with the club. Runjaic made these comments in a post-game interview with DAZN Italia. He expressed disappointment with the loss but praised his team's effort. The match saw Milan take an early lead through Christian Pulisic.
Runjaic attributed the loss to an 'easy goal' conceded within five minutes, which put his team at a disadvantage. He noted that Milan managed the game effectively after taking the lead. Despite the struggles, Runjaic observed that his team showed improvement compared to their previous game and had some positive moments. Udinese's struggles have left them in the relegation zone.
The coach acknowledged the difficulties his team has faced, including injuries, and emphasized the need for unity to improve their situation. He also stressed the importance of fair play and being a role model as a coach. Runjaic believes that comparing the current team to last season's is unfair due to the different circumstances. Udinese now sits on four points from eight games.

Source context
Kosta Runjaic insists Udinese are ‘full of life’ even after a sixth consecutive Serie A defeat to Milan, so it is ‘not the right time’ to speak with the club about his future. This was perhaps not the ideal opportunity to end their current run of dismal results, but it was still a sixth consecutive defeat for the Friulani. Christian Pulisic opened the scoring within six minutes when springing the offside trap, as the Luka Modric free kick caught the Udinese defenders napping. Omari Hutchinson was then ready to turn in the rebound as Maduka Okoye parried the Ardon Jashari strike, while the goalkeeper also palmed a Goncalo Ramos effort onto the crossbar to keep the scoreline down.
