AC Milan's head coach, Massimiliano Allegri, spoke to the media in a press conference following the 2-4 victory in Hong Kong against Liverpool.
Here are his statements:
"Leao did very well as a centre-forward, as did the whole team, which is working well in this pre-season."
How was your experience in Hong Kong?
"It was a wonderful evening, there were 50,000 fans in the stadium. It was a beautiful match, the stadium is a marvelous facility and we’re happy to have played here."
What aspect of the team’s performance did you like the most? A judgement on Leao as a centre-forward? Maybe it’s not his natural role, but he had a great game tonight:
"The best and most important thing I'm happy about from these first 20 days of work is that the team has a proactive attitude, has significantly raised its level of resilience, and that means when we have the ball, we try to play, and when we don’t, we all defend together very well as a team."
Allegri continued:
"As for Leao, he’s a strong player with extraordinary qualities. I believe he’s growing — he’s at the right age to have a big season."
