Pompey were just a minute from beating Italian giants
Milan in Adams’ first European match as a manager.
But Filippo Inzaghi levelled in injury-time after
Ronaldinho hit a 30-yard free-kick.
Adams said: “They are gutted. They are deflated as they
feel they should have and could have won.
"I’m not feeling that disappointed because of the
performance but the guys are a bit flat as they wanted some reward
for their hard work.
“I am really proud of the guys and the way we played.
That was the best performance I have had since I’ve been
manager.”
This point leaves Portsmouth needing two wins from
their final two group games to stay in the UEFA Cup.
Kanu put the home side in sight of victory with the
second goal after Younes Kaboul had headed the first.
Nigerian striker Kanu said: “I don’t know how it
happened but sometimes in football you don’t get what you
deserve.”
Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti admitted his side were
lucky.
He said: “Ronaldinho made a difference after coming on
because he opened up the game with an excellent free-kick.”
