Allegri: Milan controls Juventus and wins; Leon Kunku needs to improve physical fitness

Hupu October 6th AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri delivered a speech at a press conference after Juventus' 0-0 draw with AC Milan.

Repent?

"The positive side is that we didn't concede the ball, and we played well, interpreting the situation well, especially when we didn't have much space in the first half.

The second half, after Meinion's save, we were a lot of aggressiveness and we created several opportunities afterwards.

The positive side is that we got a point, but we had to end the game with an angry mind. We have to understand that when we face our opponents, we have to beat them with a competitive spirit. But maybe we didn't win better, otherwise we would think we were in good shape, but there were actually a lot of problems to be solved."

Do you have any expectations for returning to Juventus' home court?

"Nothing special. I was excited when I arrived, and I was happy to see so many people I used to work with, cheer and cry together.

The fans welcomed me warmly, and I could only be happy. It's international match day: let's focus on the fact that when we control our opponents, we have to beat them."

Do you have higher expectations for the players participating?

"They performed and dealt well, but it doesn't matter if they made mistakes. What's important is that they improved their physical fitness.

Nkunku came late and Leo was out for 45 days. Substitutions are important. We need to maintain balance because we have not done anything so far."

Why is Leo (the shot) not accurate enough?

"It's hard to explain and explain why. All I can say is that Leo is working hard to find the best. We need him and Nkunku to find the best. It's very important to keep them both in the best."

What is the ratio of AC Milan's frontcourt in the future? Will there be adjustments in rotation?

"Rafa and Nkunku were in poor physical fitness. Jimenez played well tonight: he tried his best for the team, created opportunities, and won penalty kicks.

I replaced him because I think Leon's masterpiece can help us win the game, otherwise Santi shouldn't have been replaced. But the whole team played well."

How is the progress of the penalty kick training?

"Plisic is the penalty kicker, and missing a penalty kick will not change anything. If he is not present, I must find a way to arrange who will take the penalty."

How far can this Milan go?

"Juventus is an excellent team and has never lost. For us, it is important to enter the final sprint stage of next March with the best and fullest attitude and strive to enter the top four."
