The Rossoneri chief has assured that the team will enter the first-leg of the quarter-final tie with their guns blazing; insists that he values the rare UEFA Champions League opportunity.
Massimiliano Allegri has revealed that he intends to go all out attacking against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604, in the first-leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals tie.
AC Milan are set to face the Spanish giants at San Siro on Wednesday evening. The two titans also came face to face in the group stages of the competition, where the Catalonians held the upper hand as they won the away game and drew the one in Camp Nou.
The Diavolo boss admitted that Barca are one of the most formidable of opponents in the competition, but insisted that the team can overcome the defending champions provided they learn from their mistakes, and believe in their ability. The tactician insisted
that reaching the last eight stage of the tournament is a rare achievement for the club, and he is not willing to go down without a fight.
While talking to the assembled press, the former Cagliari chief said:
“We are relaxed. We arrive as one of the top eight sides in Europe, something that has not happened for four years. We know that this quarter-final is very difficult, and so we must be ready. The previous two games were quite different, the first more defensive,
the second we played with more belief and tomorrow we will need a performance like that again.”
Barcelona have been widely hailed as one of the greatest teams ever to play the game of football. They have bagged 11 victories of their last 12 matches in all competitions, and their last tie in the European competition saw them thrash Bayer Leverkusen
10-2 on aggregate.
However, the Rossoneri coach revealed that he has few tricks up his sleeve to halt Pep Guardiola’s side in its tracks, and insisted that the big competition in itself is a great motivator for the players.
The Diavolo manager admitted that the Catalonians are playing beautiful football at the moment, and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 is at the heart of their fearsome attack. The tactician insisted that the key is to play an offensive game while minimising mistakes in order
to overcome the Spanish giants.
Massimiliano Allegri admitted that the injuries faced by the team are a set-back, but insisted that the team has prepared well, and are ready for the big challenge.
