The Rossoneri coach: “We must be angry, but our objective remains to return to playing the Champions League. We are scoring goals, but we need a few more goals from the midfielders and from dead balls”
There were so many good reasons to want to move forward. Because in a season without Europe the Italian Cup all in all fills a few weeks, for example. But also because Allegri is one of the greatest specialists of the tournament. And then because in any case there was a need to give continuity to the good things shown in the championship. Instead, after the pre-Christmas bubbles in the Super Cup, Milan already knows their destiny: there will be nothing other than the championship to give meaning to the season. Allegri returns to Milanello with a fair amount of thoughts, because his team at the Olimpico has lacked more or less everything that has pushed them forward thus far.

“Whoever wins is always right – says Allegri at the end of the match -. Lazio won a match in which they had more difficulties than in the championship. It was a blocked match, whoever scored first won. Then, of course, we could have defended better in the corner. And in the first half we could have been quicker to put the ball between the lines. We’re sorry to have gone out, we wanted to get to the end. But now we’re thinking about Turin. It’s not a step backwards, you have to be angry because it was a goal and it was a match to inside-out, but we need to look forward. Leao moved well both inside and outside the area, he had a good opportunity, he played a good game and made himself available to the team. We shouldn’t be depressed by this elimination, our goal remains to get back to playing in the Champions League. When we conceded goals it was a moment in which we missed three or four easy balls, and when that’s the case we become dangerous.
