Allegri believes his team could have beaten Barcelona but satisfied with the result at Camp Nou
A.C Milan manager, Massimiliano Allegri, believes that his team could have beaten http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 had they been better on their counter attacking game.
Milan drew the defending Champions 2-2 at the Camp Nou in their opening game of the group stages of this year’s competition. Allegri is satisfied with the result but he believes that his team should have played much better after
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alexandre-Pato-c4901 had provided them with a lead inside the opening minute of the game.
The former Cagliari manager believes that his team defended too deep after scoring an early goal but that was due to the immense pressure put on by the Catalans. The 44-year-old believes that his team should have done better on
the counter attacks and had kept more possession to win the game.
“The team did very well at the start, then we got a bit too deep, mainly because of Barcelona’s pressure. We could’ve done better with some counters and keeping possession, but it wasn’t easy,” he said after the 2-2 draw. I don’t
think we allowed Barca many chances and could’ve gone 2-0 up straight after the opener.”
The Italian is delighted with the character his team showed throughout the game and believes that despite losing 2-1 at one point, they did not lose their heads and kept fighting hard. Allegri is all-praise for his players and
believes that it was not an easy game at all and taking a point from Camp Nou is always very special.
“The lads did well not to lose their heads after going behind and were rewarded for all the hard work and sacrifice they did over the 95 minutes.” added the manager
Milan were without their prolific striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Antonio-Cassano-c6302. The boss believes that Cassano
worked really hard in the game and helped the team a lot.
