Allegri: Milan lacks the composure that a strong player should have, we should have secured the victory earlier

This morning, October 25th, in the 8th round of Serie A this season, AC Milan drew 2-2 with Pisa at home. Allegri was interviewed after the game.

What do you mean when you said before that Milan "lacks the composure that a strong man should have"?

Looking back on the last 5 minutes of the game, we had a chance to win this game, but we should not risk losing the game like that time when we almost lost another goal. Our defense was stretched too far, and Milan struggled throughout the game in the face of those high balls from Pisa. We should have sealed the victory earlier. Such an accident has already happened, and for us, it may be a good thing. We lost against Cremonese before, and maybe looking at it at the end of the season, the 1 point we got today is actually not bad.

Is Milan too conceited?

Conceit is out of the question. After leading 1-0, the game seemed to be easier than expected, but football games are never easy. We should have been more organized. We are a strong team with great players. Therefore, if you have the composure of a strong man, you should know that you will always find a chance to score in the end. There must be balance within the team. Why not bring on Nkunku earlier, or let Milan play with a three-forward formation?

The reason is simple: in my opinion, our defense was already struggling a bit at that time. If we remove a midfielder, we will face greater defensive risks. And then we also created scoring opportunities. On a game night like this, defeat is often just a thought away.

Does Milan have a desire for revenge now?

Tonight we have shown the resilience we deserve. It was a chaotic game and we shouldn't be playing a chaotic game where anything can happen. This draw should be seen as a positive result because we avoided mistakes that we should never have made again.

Milan has been short of Rabiot and Pulisic for a long time. Will the team be struggling?

This is definitely not the problem tonight. The key is how many available players you have on hand to complete the rotation. Moreover, Ricci and Bartsaki performed very well tonight, Art Came scored after coming off the bench, and Derwent also made his debut. Playing at the San Siro is not easy for young players who lack experience.
