Milan v Verona, Allegri: Winning was crucial despite sloppy play | OneFootball

At the end of Milan-Verona, Massimiliano Allegri analyzed the performance of the Rossoneri, focusing on the aspects to improve, Nkunku’s growth, and the current moment of the season, between the league and future objectives.

Milan-Verona, Allegri: “We need to manage the ball better, but winning was fundamental”

Speaking to the microphones after the match, the Milan coach explained: “There are moments in the game that need to be played differently. We need to keep possession more when we’re on the move. We played long too often and lost several balls; we absolutely need to improve on this.” Allegri then added: “In the first half we were a bit tense, in the second we did better, but at 3-0 we should have managed the ball with more quality.”

On Nkunku: “He’s a very sensitive guy and was eager to do well. Today he unlocked himself, especially after the penalty. He scored a goal that’s in his DNA and I believe he can continue to grow like everyone else.”

On the title race: “The further we go, the harder it gets. In Cagliari it will be a tough match, we need everyone’s help because from now until February 18th we have an important month ahead. The points needed for the title? It could be between 82 and 84 points, maybe even 86.”

Finally, in the press conference, the topic of penalty takers: “Nkunku is a penalty taker, he’s only missed one in his career. It was right for him to take it. The third goal was very beautiful, a real striker’s goal.”
