Massimiliano Allegri asks for more from Rafael Leao ahead of Atalanta

Massimiliano Allegri spoke on the eve of the match with Atalanta valid for the midweek round. “This is a direct clash for fourth place. We are in emergency, but our squad is equipped to deal with these problems, meanwhile we recover Loftus-Cheek”.

Inevitable the usual question about Rafael Leao: “He can score 15-20 goals a year, he is growing but he has to convince himself of his attacking skills. In the area he needs to do more, with more cynicism”.

“Serie A right now is wide open, then we will see who will have the strength to give continuity of results. That is why the draw with Pisa in the end was a point earned given how it had set up. In Bergamo will be very complicated, we will have to play very well technically to give continuity to the results.

Closing remarks on referees: “We have to go forward by force. Refereeing in this soccer where the speed is crazy is very difficult. Var has improved so many things, but when situations are subjectable it creates arguments. Let them referee, they make mistakes like everyone but it takes a little more serenity in accepting things then it is obvious that if it happens in your favor you are happy and on the contrary not”.
