The Tuscan coach of Milan, Massimiliano Allegri, spoke to the microphones of Dazn and in a press conference after the narrow victory against Inter.

Milan, Allegri: “Saved penalties? We must thank the coach Filippi! We need to improve in the offensive phase”

The Milan coach spoke to the microphones of Dazn and in a press conference after the victory against Inter 0-1. Here are his words, reported by tmw:

On the performance

“This match confirmed the trend of our championship, when the match is of high level you are forced to keep the tension high and you are more aggressive in counterattacks. We need to take a step forward in this regard. This victory is important psychologically, because you could have gone to -5, it was very important to remain in the top 4. Pulisic and Leao together worked very well, Nkunku also needs to come out because he is an important player and we need everyone.”

It’s a nice victory, it was a beautiful and entertaining match, in the first quarter of an hour we were a bit blocked then the team played better. We needed to refine better and get Saelemaekers and Pulisic more into action. In the second half, once we scored, it was normal for Inter to come and attack us but we defended in an orderly manner, we also had counterattack opportunities where Leao was a bit lacking but the team played a good match defending fairly well.”

Regret for lost points or happiness for direct clashes?

“Having won all the direct clashes is a great joy, there are championships where you lose points with the smaller teams: in the end, the points we have are those we deserve. We need to improve a lot in offensive pressure and physical condition because in these weeks we have trained well. On penalties, we have Filippi, who is very good at preparing our goalkeepers.”

On the next match

“I thanked the guys, they won the derby giving a nice victory to everyone. The other side of the coin is rest because on Saturday there is an important match against Lazio. Balance is needed because many things need to be improved, in the first quarter of an hour we were a bit timid. We needed to do better in three or four situations by opening up the game. We also need to improve the condition.”

On ambition

“In a great team, you need to have ambition. We will see how we manage to turn things around and we need to give continuity to the results.”
