The Milan coach after the 0-0 draw with Juve: “Balanced match and fair result. Christian penalized by the absence of a centre-forward, but will be back to lend us a hand”
An announced draw that brings Milan closer to their Champions League goal. For the show, come back later, but the 0-0 against Juventus means that the Rossoneri are 6 points short (provided they win all of them behind) to secure their return to Europe through the main door. And Max Allegri hammers home this point after the match: “The certainty is that with 6 points we will have achieved the objective. Today we got closer, because before we were missing 7, but as I said on the eve of the match, what matters is the overall performance throughout the season”.
balance and attackers
—
This is the analysis of the match: “It was a very balanced match, Juve, especially on the outside, has players who target you and put you in difficulty. Our attitude was the right one. The result was just as right. We took risks on a couple of counterattacks, but we had already given enough against Udinese, conceding three goals without almost realizing it.” It’s inevitable to touch on the topic of attackers, with Leao and Pulisic still dry and unable to make an impact: “Rafa had a good match, even accelerating on a couple of occasions. Then it’s obvious that it’s difficult to expect much continuity from him. Pulisic out of context? He’s a very sensitive boy, perhaps he blames the fact of not scoring more than others. I know that without a real center forward he could be penalised, but I have to look at the final goal. And I’m sure that Pulisic will be there from now until the end will lend a hand.”
