Massimiliano Allegri spoke to DAZN before Inter vs Milan. These were his statements:
How much do players like Rabiot influence things?
“It was important for us to get everyone back. Between the last two breaks we had few players available and we had to focus more on managing training. Having everyone raises the training rhythm. We worked well this week and tonight is a tough match, a difficult one, Inter are a strong side. We need a strong performance to start the path that takes us toward March.”
On Davide Bartesaghi:
“He is growing, he has few matches behind him but he is reliable and has strong potential. Rabiot has been out for a long time, I do not know how many minutes he has in his legs. Tonight we need heart, determination and strong technique.”
The approach matters... Allegri commented:
“It is a key factor. Against Roma we spent the first 25 minutes giving the ball away under pressure. We need to be calmer when we have the ball because we have strong technical quality. Tonight whoever wins more duels wins the match.”
Did you miss this derby?
“It is a wonderful match, a wonderful night. You work to live nights with this level of adrenaline. If we win we will be happy, if not we keep working to reach our goal of finishing in the top four.”
Someone like Vieri would be useful, right?
“He would always be useful, he scored some goals. I see him relaxed and calm.”
