Allegri frustrated with the draw against Viktoria Plzen and demands improvement from his team
A.C Milan manager, Massimiliano Allegri, is gutted after his side threw away a two goal cushion in the dying minutes of the game against Viktoria Plzen.
The Italian Champions drew 2-2 in the last Group H game of the 2011/12 UEFA Champions League against the Gambrinus Liga Champions at the Synot Tip Arena on Tuesday, December 6th, 2011. Milan had sealed the second spot

The 44-year-old is shattered with the result and has urged his players to maintain their focus until the final whistle. The former Cagliari boss is disappointed with the way his team conceded the goal and believes that his team
lost the concentration.
Allegri told the reporters, “A game like this should’ve been won, as we were leading by two goals. We need to be gritty and determined to the 95th minute. It’s really disappointing that we come away with this result.
The goal came from us losing the ball in midfield for a potential move of our own, but instead we conceded.”
Despite the disappointment of the result, Allegri remains positive and is hoping that his team will not repeat the same mistakes in the future. The tactician also praised his team’s performance as he shuffled his pack for the game.
“I can be satisfied with some things, as we played alright despite the new line-up, but it’s a shame to concede those goals. I’ll look on the positive side and say at least we won’t be making this mistake again anytime soon.”
Allegri has demanded immediate improvement from his side and has insisted that these kinds of mistakes will not be tolerable in the future games. Milan will face any of the winners of group stages in the round of last 16.
