The Rossoneri coach: “We need to grow because everyone calls it a path, not me. We need to wage war in the area”
It was supposed to be – verbatim words on the eve – the most important match, to spend a quiet break and arrive at the derby with the awareness of facing Inter with the infirmary empty. It was supposed to be the test of maturity against the smaller teams, after the freezing showers against Cremonese and Pisa. It was supposed to be Allegri’s 100th victory with the Rossoneri. It should have been: but it wasn’t. Because in the match that Milan dominated with total ease until the 46th minute, Allegri saw Maignan concede two goals from the team that up to that point had the worst attack in Europe. And then he sees – or rather, sees again – his team up front eat the impossible, as had already happened the week before against Roma.

These are serious points left by the wayside. From any perspective: Scudetto and Champions League. The Rossoneri coach confirms: “Two points wasted. Of course, I don’t know how it would have ended if the first half had ended 2-0. We could have done better, but at the start of the second half in the area we were dazed, asleep. We suffered dangerous actions, balls rained down from all sides. In the area we have to wage war. Then we started playing again and created important scoring opportunities, but at 2-0 you shouldn’t concede a goal like that, rather you throw the ball into the stands. It was a game well started, we didn’t have granted nothing and instead at two to one then you get a little scared. We all have to improve, we had to fight because everyone calls it a run but for me we are chickens: between Cremonese, Pisa and Parma we only scored two points and we threw away seven. We had many opportunities, we need to improve in reading the matches.”
