Despite his Milan leading by three goals, Max Allegri experienced the second half of the match against Hellas Verona as if it were still uncertain: shouting, moving back and forth along the sideline, discussing with his staff, and more shouting. The reason? He wanted his team to manage the ball better: "The risk at 3-0 is conceding a goal, and that is never good. We could have avoided some crosses if we had kept a dynamic possession instead of a static one. Lately, we had been conceding too many easy goals, we had become a bit unsteady," he said after the match, explaining his agitation.
Allegri does not want to show it too much, but he is satisfied with what his Milan is doing. He wants his players to stay highly focused because they have achieved nothing yet, and from now until February, the Rossoneri will face many challenges.
Milan target the Scudetto title?
AC Milan are currently second in the league, one point off the top, but Allegri still refuses to talk about the title: "We must continue working calmly to return to playing in the Champions League. It will not be easy. We should absolutely not talk about the title; we must simply act. Think little, run a lot. Improve the things we can improve, which are many, and put aside those we did well. The scudetto target is between 82 and 84 points, but it could become 86." It’s curious why he made these calculations even though he says he is not thinking about the title, as relayed via Milan News.
