100 victories with Milan? Massimiliano Allegri doesn’t think about it

Ahead of the challenge with Parma tomorrow night, Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri is not thinking about 100 career wins on the Rossoneri bench but only about taking the points. Here are his words in the eve press conference.

“We face a team that has always struggled on the field, raises the ball a lot, has Pellegrino in front who is good in the aerial game. We, between Pisa and Cremonese, only scored one point. We have to prepare well mentally. They play badly, but for us the result is important. Since Udine we have not won on the road”.

“Against Cremonese we took two goals on crosses, against Pisa we did not close the game. When we understand that the opponent is in trouble, we have to try to put them on the ropes. Tomorrow Parma will try to do the feat and we will have to have the same mentality”.

“Pulisic is recovered, Estupinan and Jashari are better. He will remain out Rabiot who returns after the break as well as Gimenez but I think he will be available for the derby, let’s see. Pulisic has had two training sessions with the team, he is fine physically.”

“Leao and Nkunku did well against Roma. Leao cramped up because he has to improve his condition because he has been so many days off. The norm is for him to play those games, not for them to be sporadic events. And it applies to everyone.

“Tomorrow we have another game where we need three more points. We need to play well technically and make few mistakes, against Roma in the first half’hour we made a lot of mistakes”.

“We hope to win. But not for 100 quota, for the three points. Which is more important. Let’s not think about that, let’s think about tomorrow’s game which is worth three points like the derby and the other games. It is not to arrive serene to the derby but to have a serene stop”.

“Maignan’s future? I always say that the Milan jersey must be kept. Because then when we leave Milan, it’s not like we go back. Maignan is a great goalkeeper, the club is planning for the future of Milan, so we have Tare and Furlani who will think the best for Milan. We must remain focused on the’ultimate goal: the top four places to return to Champions”.
