Allegri in press conference, “Good thing I have Danilo.”

Allegri in press conference apologizes

Allegri held a press conference ahead of the second day of Champions League group H, which will see the Bianconeri host Benfica.

In particular, the Bianconeri coach addressed the injury situation: “Di Maria is recovered, I don’t know if I will play him from the start or not. Szczesny I will evaluate him after the conference, Alex Sandro had an adductor problem and we will see if he will be there with Monza, Rabiot and Locatelli are out.”

Regarding the opponent he said, “It has a great tradition, it comes from 11 positive results. Tomorrow will not be decisive but important, to get a result we will have to perform as a team, we should watch out for amnesias that in Europe you pay for.”

Regarding the possibility of reproposing the defensive trio, coach Allegri expressed himself as follows, “We can build with three and defend with four, in Paris and with Salernitana we started and finished the opposite way. It depends on the match, how they defend, it’s a matter of knowing how to move and look for spaces, and it’s a good thing I have Danilo who can play many roles.”

Finally, an inevitable remark on the post-Juventus-Salernitana controversy: “I have never made judgments about the referees, it is not for me to express myself. The topic is closed to Sunday night. That said, I had a wrong reaction, I’m sorry, but it was 93 minutes. I would have been happier with a fine than a disqualification.”
