Milan, Allegri: We’ll try to turn things around, need focus | OneFootball

On the eve of Milan-Sassuolo, the match that will open Sunday’s Serie A fixtures, Massimiliano Allegri, Milan’s coach, spoke at a press conference.

Milan, Allegri at the press conference: “We’ll try to turn things around, we’ll need a very serious performance”

These were the statements from the Rossoneri coach: “Tomorrow we’ll try to turn things around, Sassuolo is a good team with an excellent position in the standings. When you play against them, the matches never end. They have players with great technique, they have balance, it’s a match that must be played with respect, focus, and great discipline in the defensive phase. They have very specific characteristics, they can always put you in difficulty. We need a very serious performance both technically and mentally to bring home the three points.”

“There are various phases in a season. We started well at the beginning and would make the sign of the cross at the start of the second half. Now the situation has reversed. We need to find a balance to always have the right approach. In Turin we played a good second half, but in the first fifteen minutes we conceded two goals that could have cost us the three points. Against Sassuolo, we hope not to concede. Tomorrow is the first match at 12:30, we’re heading into the holidays… Our priority is to face Sassuolo with great discipline, matches last 100 minutes. We’re playing against a team that can score at any moment: our defensive phase will have to be very, very good to avoid giving them the chance to showcase their strengths on the wings. Volpato and Laurienté are very good one-on-one and at attacking the space in behind. It’s a complicated match that needs to be brought home. Then we have to face a trip to Arabia. It’s one thing to go there with three points, quite another with a defeat…”
