Massimiliano Allegri berates his people but holds on to the point
Massimiliano Allegri does not despise the 2-2 draw snatched in a comeback at San Siro against Pisa: “Sorry for the result because we wanted to win, but in the end it will bring us advantages because we recovered it’. However, some matches should be handled differently”.
“Wasted opportunity? When you come out of these games you are sorry for the lost points, but at the end of the’year this point will be important”.
And again: “We are happy with the draw we took, but we made a mistake once we went ahead: we should have closed the game with the second goal. After 1-0 we could have made it 2-0, using more serenity. The serenity of the strong. Instead we were too long, the forwards too far away and in the middle there were too many holes. We were going for the ball forward not all at once, but by stretching out”.
“In the final it would have been enough to make two right plays to win, without losing our heads. It’s a matter of growth, of understanding the moments of the game, and tonight we had to do that. We had to be faster and clearer. Pisa took good advantage of our flaws. However, despite the results, everything was not going well: that is why I say we need to keep working. In the long run, today’s point will prove to be heavy for the achievement of our goal”.
