Massimiliano Allegri, the Rossoneri coach, spoke at the end of Milan-Lazio. Here are his words to Milan TV:
On the match:
"The first half was complicated, Lazio closed all our passing lanes. Mike Maignan made a big save right at the start. Then we picked ourselves up and created several scoring chances, a team win."
Milan is a group that still needs to grow... Allegri replied:
"We are almost a team, we are only at the beginning and this must not be seen as a finish line, there are many matches ahead. Tonight was another good win, now we need to recover energy for the Coppa Italia. To win matches you need to work hard."
On Rafael Leao, who scored the only goal of the Milan - Lazio match:
"Rafa needs to learn how to play as a centre forward, he already did it at Lille then he lost that a bit. He has great qualities that nature gave him, he needs to grow and become stronger. We are a group that is growing, without a group I have never seen great teams win, so the path for now is the right one."
