Allegri and Tare after Milan-Atalanta, the press conference

Milan’s words are from an emergency situation. Allegri and Tare go in front of the cameras with the fire extinguisher: they want to reassure, minimize, shift attention to the weekend’s match against Genoa. However, some expressions remain in the mind, especially that phrase from Tare: “Maybe we’ll go into retreat a few days before Genoa”. It’s normal, it’s logical, but it makes us understand the exceptional nature of the crisis.

Allegri chooses a light analysis of the evening: “A good match for 10 minutes, then at the first opportunity we conceded a goal and fell apart (in reality Atalanta scored already in the 7th minute, ed.). I saw a good reaction at the end. It’s not a problem for Leao or any individual, the priority is the team. Rafa had favorable situations but it’s such a moment…”. Max tries to bring attention to the last two matches: “It’s useless to talk about what has happened so far, we can’t change it. Now we just have to focus on Genoa. The Champions League at risk? I’ve always said and said that it wasn’t in an iron barrel…”. In an effort to be optimistic, one of his sentences leaves the AC Milan fans with a bitter laugh: “We’ve started scoring goals again, it’s a good sign.” Yes, but they are two goals of pure hysterical reaction after scoring one in five games…

tares and the future

Igli Tare chooses to go in front of the microphones and show the presence of a manager, contrary to what has happened many times in recent years. He too lowers his tone: “I analyzed the match with the coach after the 90th minute. We must remain focused on the last two matches. The reaction in the dressing room was the right one, now we must move from words to actions. Maybe we will go into training camp a few days before Genoa.” Ah, Allegri also spoke about the retreat: “We’ll meet again on Tuesday, once we know when we’ll play I’ll make the program for the week.” Tare takes note of Milan’s problems and addresses the Milan fans: “The right tension was missing. We must take our responsibilities. The fans deserve another team.” In all this, there is also time for a personal question, about a possible dismissal at the end of the season: “Am I in question? I haven’t had any signal from the club, I’m concentrating on the work. If we reach the goal, we will have done a great job. The rest, i.e. the speculations, are part of our job.”
