Max bittersweet: “In football you get what the result gives you. You have to see the positive. In the opponent’s area, however, you need more patience”
Max Allegri has seen a lot but such a crazy match has rarely happened to him too. It is no coincidence that Max is a living contrast in the end: first he smiles but speaks critically, then he becomes more serious and says he was lucky. Bittersweet. His focus is on the final, in a very personal reading as always: “We have to mature because in a championship there are these matches. You take it back in the 91st minute and you have four minutes to play. At that point, you have to be patient, build one or two important actions without exposing yourself to a counterattack that made us risk losing the match. It’s a lesson in maturity that we have to learn, our goal is to get to the top four and the points are very important.”

The analysis of the match is clear: “In football you collect what the result gives you, you have to see the positive – begins Allegri -. The first half was quite difficult, they ran a lot, they marked Modric and played man for man. We immediately had two or three situations to score, then we took the 0-1 and in the second half they dropped a bit”. Then two criticisms: “We need to improve in the clarity of bringing the ball close to the goal. And we had little patience, matches last 100 minutes. After the 1-0 we were too hasty and haste doesn’t get you anywhere. If you don’t score a goal, you shouldn’t take it… and once you don’t concede a goal, in the long run the others drop. Genoa’s advantage? Well done Colombo, Gabbia also slipped into that situation.”

The end is for a comment on Leao (as always, Allegri stays with the players) and on the penalty missed by Stanciu: “Rafa had 2-3 situations in the open field where he could have done better, but he’s not feeling very well. This evening he was decisive as in the other matches and in the end he equalised. When we are in the opponent’s half of the field, we need a little more patience. In the end, it’s a shame not to have won but we were lucky for the missed penalty. It’s an important point. We’ll see in Florence, it will be very difficult.” Without Tomori, who is disqualified, there is one certainty: De Winter, if he is well, will play.
