Allegri, the words after Milan-Bologna: “Extraordinary group”

Without jacket but with a smile that, like the right tie, illuminates the face. Max Allegri after Milan-Bologna has the mood of the beautiful days: he enhances his Milan, applauds Gimenez despite the wrong goals, he even makes the conciliatory with referee and fourth man after expulsion. “This is an extraordinary group of boys, they work hard – he says -. The goal is to return to playing the Champions League, it is not easy and you should not exalt but I would say that the boys are doing very well. It was important to win and not to conceding goals for the second time in a row. The team has been compact in difficult moments, it is in those moments that we must not be disunited”. His favorite words … with a little space for a distance derby: “We in front of Inter? Are we only on the third day. The championship will stretch after the October stop. If I prefer this victory at 4-3 in the Italy derby? I prefer Milan’s victory, but you don’t have to enhance yourself”.

Max and Gimenez

–

Santiago Gimenez, until he remained on the pitch, hit for the usual insecurity in front of the door. He arrives in front of the goalkeeper, but does not score. Allegri, a moment after the replacement, congratulated him for the game of sacrifice and Dazn confirmed: “Santiago ran a lot, he pressed, he got busy. He made a mistake two occasions but he arrived in front of the little shiny door for the great work. I am very happy, it is his best game since I am”. In part it is truth, partly typical coach psychology. And then, when you win, you are increasingly indulgent.

Congratulations to Modric

–

Easier to congratulate Modric: everyone is doing them. “Luka is a champion and puts herself at the service of the team – says Allegri -. I am very happy to train it, the boys must be very happy. Luka knows a minute before where the ball ends”. And again: “Modric is extraordinary, it is a pleasure to see him play, he is really humble to demonstrate the champion who is”.

Maignan’s injury

–

Milan will now go to Udine and Allegri will not be on the pitch. He will look from the tribune, disqualified. Max at the end of the game was serene, very serene considered the conditions: “If Fabbri al Var decided that the penalty was not there, it was right that he took it out”. Politically correct. Ah, Mike Maignan will also be missing next week, who came out for the right calf injury: “I think there will not be in Udine – confirms Max – Terracciano has made a nice debut and Torriani is very good. If a player is missing or the other, the important thing is to have this spirit”. Allegri is so happy that he is optimistic: the risk is not to have Maignan much beyond Udine.
