Massimiliano Allegri, AC Milan coach, spoke in the press conference after Milan-Bologna.
Is this the AC Milan you had envisioned?
"If we want to finish in the top four, we need to concede only a certain number of goals. We created chances, played a very good match. Even when Bologna kept the ball, we didn’t suffer because we stayed organized. We are growing, there is strong involvement. Winning was important, but we must not get carried away."
Does Luka Modric surprise you?
"Luka is a champion in every way. He is also very humble because he puts himself at the service of the team. We are very happy to have him, I am happy to coach him, and his teammates are happy to play alongside him. He apologizes, never stops, he is wonderful."
We see you with the jacket... What happened?
"I didn’t form an opinion, I haven’t reviewed anything. If Fabbri at VAR decided the penalty wasn’t there, then it was right to cancel it."
Yesterday Juve-Inter ended 4-3, Milan won 1-0. Which victory do you prefer?
"I prefer Milan’s victory. It’s not about the numbers. Some matches go one way, others another. When Bologna attacked, we were careful not to lose shape. But we must not get carried away. One step at a time."
Is the Curva Sud missed?
"We hope to have them back as soon as possible. They are a big help for the whole team."
You are ahead of Inter... Allegri replied:
"It’s only the third matchday. The league will stretch out after the October break."
How do you want to manage Santiago Gimenez?
"Santiago played like a team player. On his last chance he was a bit tired, less sharp, but he should stay calm because he will score goals. I think he played his best match since I arrived."
