Massimiliano Allegri believes A.C Milan gifted Napoli the game: Serie A news
A.C Milan manger, Massimiliano Allegri, believes that his team gifted Napoli the victory in a 3-1 Serie A encounter at the Stadio San Paolo on Sunday, September 18th, 2011.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alberto-Aquilani-c4313 put the Rossoneri in front with an 11th minute strike but the Partenopei side ran riot courtesy Edinson Cavani’s hat-trick. Walter Mazzarri’s men moved to the top of the league table with victories from
both of their opening games.
Allegri believes that his team did not exploit the opposition’s weaknesses and played to their strengths. The tactician added that despite dominating the possession in the opening minutes of the game, his team failed to take advantage.
The former Cagliari manager believes that despite knowing about http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003’s strength on the counter-attack, they failed to control them and conceded there.
The 44-year-old is satisfied with his team’s overall effort but believes that they should have made most of their chances.
Talking to the reporters Allegri said, “It was a fairly odd game, as we held possession and took the lead, but it was wiped out immediately by a lucky goal. We conceded on the counter, which we knew Napoli were going to do. We
also wasted a few opportunities to make it 2-2 and with the third goal Cavani did very well to believe in it.”
“It was a strange match in which I’m happy with what the lads did overall, though we need more determination in some moments."
Milan have been able to pick up only one point from their opening two league games but Allegri is not panicking and believes that the team will start clicking very soon. The manager added that he is satisfied with his team’s performances
but the defence needs to tighten up after having let five goals in two matches.
Allegri has urged the full-backs to improve their game and should maintain a balance between their attacking and defensive play.
Milan will face Udinese in their next league game on September 21st, 2011 at the San Siro.
