Massimiliano Allegri always looks over his shoulder and in this perspective he judges the three points from Bologna as important: “It was a game to be approached with seriousness, also because behind the pursuers had come closer. Another complicated away game against a dangerous Bologna, but the boys were very good both offensively and defensively. It was a good game, although in the management of the ball and in some choices we could have done better. We played well because Loftus-Cheek and Nkunku gave a level performance, allowing us to attack the depth and take advantage of low balls”.

The presenter, super supporter of Napoli, told that in the family there's a black sheep. Indeed, nerazzurra.
He did so in a recent interview granted to the 'Gazzetta dello Sport'. "A scandal" she smiled.
Tons of concepts expressed by the good (and beautiful) Campanian conductor.
"Napoli is experienced as a true faith by those born and raised in the city".
His first times at the stadium go back to'childhood, in the Maradona period.
"There'was also Naldi’s Napoli in Serie B and failure. And I was there'I was"
"Then the slow rise with De Laurentiis from Serie C. And there'I was also there".
In the last three years Napoli has won two championships.

"Winning two titles in three years is something huge".

"Conte’s reappointment was the best news of the'year".
"Soccer looks like life: there are ups, downs, falls and restarts".
"When you are on a high you have to rejoice without forgetting that nothing lasts forever".

The AC Milan coach continues to do the math, especially from a Champions League perspective and without talking openly about the Scudetto, despite being 5 points behind Inter leaders: “It was crucial to get to 50 points, our goal remains to stay in the top four. At 3-0 the team remained compact, without conceding anything: not conceding goals is always a positive sign”. When asked what matters most, the margin over Roma or the distance from top-seeded Inter, the Rossoneri coach to Dazn had no hesitation: “We have to look above all behind us. The championship is still long and there are a lot of points up for grabs to achieve Champions League qualification. We enjoy the break and will try to recover important players like Leao and Pulisic”.

Particularly appreciated by Allegri was the management of the final minutes: “It is a fundamental aspect, especially with so many young people who sometimes get carried away by enthusiasm. In those moments you have to keep the ball in the opponent’s half. Those who took over did very well: we must be happy with the victory, but when we restart we will immediately think about Pisa and the final rush”.

Finally, a passage on the cups, absent from the Rossoneri calendar this year: “I would like to play so many games, not doing so is a disappointment. However, we will try to use this time to prepare the competitions in the best possible way, with the goal of returning to the top four and playing Champions next year”.
