The Rossoneri coach: “When you concede two goals for three games in a row, you need to review things”
Two goals dematerialized in the space of just two weeks. From Thursday 4th to Thursday 18th December Massimiliano Allegri and his Milan said goodbye to everything that existed outside the championship. Furthermore, the Italian Cup and the Super Cup showed the same team: poor in ideas, not very intense, inattentive in the things that mostly work in the championship. More than one fan points out that at least, in the last unfortunate season, the Super Cup had climbed onto the Rossoneri plane, and in the Italian Cup the Devil had reached the final act. A pertinent comparison up to a certain point, since the championship then excluded Milan from any European competition. So what is better? Out of everything and in the top four at the end of May, or another title on the board and a new European purgatory? There is no doubt, and on the other hand Allegri has been repeating it since August: the Champions League is not an option, it is an obligation. Well, now there is really nothing else that can distract Milan from the real objective of the season.

Allegri was quite nervous throughout the match. There were several disagreements with the Neapolitan bench, especially with Oriali. Then at the end of the match Max appears quite dejected: “We faced a strong Napoli, but we could have performed better on the two goals. A match well played by both, even if they did the defensive phase better than us. Zufferli refereed very well, we have to analyze the match, we conceded goals in circumstances where we should have defended better. In the last few matches we concede goals too easily. Tonight’s defeat must be seen as an opportunity to get back on our feet and move forward. Now we have to think about the championship. In the first half we had some favorable situations, However, we needed to attack the area better. When you score two goals in three games in a row, we need to review how we defend. We needed to recover in the evening. Only serenity can lead us to achieve our goal, which is definitely not going to be easy.”
