Massimiliano Allegri believes Palermo clash is a must win for his team: Serie A news
A.C Milan manager, Massimiliano Allegri, believes that the Serie A clash against Palermo is a must win contest for his team.
Milan have had a poor start to the defence of their title and have picked up only five points in their opening five games of the season thus far. Allegri is disappointed with the defeat against Juventus before the international
break and admitted that his team played poorly in the game.
The former Cagliari boss has urged his players to get back to winning ways in the game against Palermo. The tactician is all-praise for the opposition and believes that they have been really strong this season. Allegri is looking
for a committed performance from his boys and only three points from the game will satisfy him.
Allegri said, “Palermo? They are an organized and aggressive side, a team who is playing reasonably well and has enthusiasm. This is a very important game for us, one that we have to face in the best possible manner. And we also
have to win because we’ve only done so once this season. We have to get three points.”
The 44-year-old rejected claims made by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Antonio-Cassano-c6302 regarding their retirement from the game in the near future and believes that both players are in good shape to continue for long.
“Cassano has to continue the excellent things that he is doing for Milan and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926. Ibra is in good physical shape, he’s positive and that is what counts for me. He’s a player that can still make the difference for three or four
years.”
The manager was pleased with the return of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robinho-c31382 for the next game and believes that their presence will help them a great deal. However, defender, Philippe Mexes, will have to wait longer to make his debut
for the Champions. Veteran midfielders, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gennaro-Gattuso-c14525 are also missing for the game.
Milan will play hosts to Devis Mangia’s men on Saturday, October 15, 2011 at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.
