MILAN (ITALPRESS) – After the post derby euphoria, Massimiliano Allegri calls everyone to order. The coach of Milan does not want distractions, thinks about the challenge of Saturday against Lazio, defined “difficult part”, and does not give up the goal, “that is always to get in the first four in the championship”.
“It’s normal that the derby won was important. It is a race that always gives you great adrenaline. The victory against Inter was wonderful, but that’s enough. You should not lose sight of the final goal. At the moment there are seven teams in seven points up there. In addition there is Lazio that is recovering. It is true that it has had a difficult start, but Lazio is coming back and is underrated: Sarri’s doing a great job. They didn’t market, they had several injuries. They are a well organized team and have the opportunity to return to the Champions round; instead we want the three points that would allow us to make an extra pass towards our goal”, said Allegri, at the press conference.
“Pulisic will hardly be of the game, but tomorrow and after tomorrow can happen everything. Saelemaekers is recovered; Gimenez next week should start coming back slowly, slow with the team. Everyone else is fine,” said the coach of Milan.
About Leao: “I am not transforming it: he has the characteristics to do the centring. You should get used to attack the door more when the ball is outside and exit less from the area. It’s changing, it’s much more in the game and helps the team when there’s to do the dirty work. The great players see themselves from these things: when they put their qualities available to the team.”
Finally, honey words for Maignan. “Mike has always been one of the strongest gatekeepers in circulation. So I don’t want your performance. As for his contract there is the company that thinks about these things: the club is working to give stability to this team. I’m talking to Mike, but I’m talking about field stuff. And this is also Filippi, his trainer. I am happy, I see him serene: he is confirming his qualities”.
