Milan, Allegri to DAZN: Deserved the lead, great performance | OneFootball

At the end of the match between Milan and Roma, won by the Rossoneri 1-0, Milan's coach, Massimiliano Allegri, spoke to Dazn's microphones, where he discussed the excellent game played by his team.

Milan, Allegri on DAZN: “In the first half, they deserved the lead, they played a great match”

These are the statements of the former Juventus coach to DAZN's microphones: “In the first 35 minutes, Roma absolutely deserved the lead. We couldn't play and technically made every possible mistake. We were under great pressure, in my opinion, we need to lower De Winter or Bartesaghi to create more space for those putting pressure on us. That didn't happen. Then, once we took the lead, we positioned ourselves better defensively. In the second half, we came back on the field very well, we had chances to double the lead and didn't succeed. Then, of course, you also have to defend, and in the area, we defended reasonably well: they didn't have any clear chances apart from the first 35 minutes.”

“We had a complicated start because they put a lot of pressure on us. In other matches, we started well and played poorly in the second half. Paradoxically, in the second half, I asked the guys to keep up the pressure. We positioned ourselves with four midfielders and spread out more on the field, and we managed to apply more pressure because by pushing up Saelemaekers and widening Ricci, we were already on their midfielders who were opening up. These are steps for a team that still needs to improve its self-esteem in the qualities it has through these matches. Playing at San Siro is not easy, in these 3-4 matches, with the absence of Pulisic, Rabiot, and Tomori, we also got to see players at San Siro with little experience of this stadium, and they managed in the best way possible.”
