Coach Massimiliano Allegri was interviewed by SportMediaset before the Napoli-Milan Italian Super Cup match. Here are the statements from the Rossoneri coach.
Modric not starting, Bartesaghi on the bench:
“Jashari will play, he did very well in the Coppa Italia. Bartesaghi has a flexor that wasn’t feeling great the other day, Estupinan is fine. We needed some fresh physical and mental energy.”
On Milan’s transfer market, Allegri replied:
“Milan’s market focus is on fully recovering the players available. Gimenez underwent this minor procedure, the recovery timeline has not yet been communicated. We hope to reach the final tonight, it would be a great goal, otherwise we will focus on the league.”
On Nkunku:
“He has extraordinary technique, works for the team, he is integrating well. I have full confidence in him, as we all do.”
Simonelli just said that Milan-Como will be played in Perth:
“I don’t know anything yet. I hope it is a preview of what the future of Italian football will be, and I hope it is not just an isolated case. Otherwise, it would be a problem.”
