MILAN (ITALPRESS) – Milan is preparing for a crucial challenge at the most delicate time of the season. On the eve of the Verona trip, Massimiliano Allegri traced the picture of the situation, emphasizing the importance of the match and recalling the environment to the compactness. “It will be a race, after the last defeats, important for the goal to achieve. We face a live team, which has counter-piedists and physicality. It will take serenity, against Udinese we have been very disordered. It is an important race to achieve the goal.” The Rossonero technician therefore identifies in the emotional management one of the key aspects, especially after a period not simple on the plane of the results.
Allegri then highlighted the club support and the need to maintain balance: “The company has always been close, it is an important moment like all the season endings. We have to take a little stroll at a time. The boys need serenity and have to do what they have always done. We are a team that has technical and moral values, I have no doubt.”.
Among the singles, there is an inevitable passage on Rafael Leao, who has come from some criticism: “At Leao some whistles are perhaps served to understand that in life there are moments of difficulty, it is reason for growth for him. Surely he will have a reaction, he did a nice week of workouts, like everyone.”.
On his future, Allegri chose a clear line: “At this moment all energies are concentrated on the final goal, the club comes first of all. I am tied to the boys, they have to be supported and they have to support me. We have a rose of excellent players, the company worked well last summer. It is a good base, but to improve it it will be necessary to arrive in Champions. The steps are two: first Champions, then future”.
On the voices related to the bench and the National, Allegri has maintained the focus on immediate objectives: “In these weeks everyone speaks. Every year you arrive at this time where you say ‘this goes there and this there’. But the only thing that matters is the final result. At this moment we have a clear goal and we have to get there. My coach story clearly speaks, I don’t like changes.”.
The European race, therefore, remains the central hub. “You must win tomorrow. Como has not won, but Roma and Juventus are behind us: 63 points are not enough to enter the Champions League, it is mathematics. Then we will think about the big match against Juventus.” There has not been a wider reflection on the sustainability and competitiveness of the club: “Every company must be sustainable, but everything revolves around the result. We have a responsibility: in addition to playing, we must place Milan in Europe… because if Milan is there then it is difficult for society to develop in another way”.
Allegri then added: “the strength of a society, and consequently of a team, is to recognize and work on its own limits. If you recognize this you can get better results. There are data: for twenty years in the Champions League the first 4 are the first, second, third and fourth of the turnover. If you don’t get there with the economic force, you have to get there with a united society. The margin of error compared to those who can spend 300 is less.”.
Also available for Cristian Chivu, Inter’s technician: “I have to congratulate him who is now close to the goal, winning the first year’s shield means he has worked well.”.
Finally, a look at the future of the rose, without entering the market details: “We think about society, I give technical indications and the construction of the team. Speaking of the market is not needed today, evaluations should only be made at the end of the season. We started thinking about 2026/27 at the end of the last summer market, otherwise stay back. Next year we have to raise the asticella. Arriving in Champions can be a good result, but surely it will be improved next year”.
