MILAN (ITALPRESS) – Massimiliano Allegri does not want to think about absent players or perhaps and does not want to look back on recent injuries. The Rossonero coach, on the eve of the championship match, in the home, against Fiorentina, enjoys and announces instead the “star back” of Leao. The Portuguese will certainly be the owner against the violets, with Nkunku still in doubt (“It has this big toe that bothers him, tomorrow we will see”).
“ Yesterday we did the first training all together, after the stop for the Nationals. A new five-game cycle begins tomorrow. It is an important cycle. Let’s start against Fiorentina, who has excellent players: we will have to be very careful”, said Allegri at the press conference. “This week Leao, back from the National Team, did well. Now I think he’s ready to go back to being one of the protagonists. He has important qualities: I’m glad he came back to have a good condition. Rabiot and Pulisic think they’ll be out until the next stop. Estupinan is out and tomorrow will not be there. Saelemaekers instead took over. Numerically we are a little less than usual but this must be an extra stimulus to do well for those who are there. We will have to find the right solutions: to everything there is remedy. Football has evolved and is now globalized: we can’t go back,” said the Rossonero technician.
Returning to Leao, he said: “It has extraordinary technical qualities but I think it should be allowed to play. What matters is simple and is the field. There is a performance in there. Too many words around Leao. He is a golden boy and he wants to do; Unfortunately the injury stopped him in early season. She’s finding a good condition, and I think she’ll do very well from here on. Is it a champion? We will see this at the end of our career.”.
“If we are ready to win the shield we will see it in May. For now it only counts to do points and stand in a good standing position. I have a good relationship with Pioli. He was the last coach to win the Milan championship and for this reason I renew my compliments. I’m sure he’ll do a good job at Fiorentina,” said Allegri.
