The Rossoneri head coach has gone on to acknowledge that he gambled on the fitness of players last season and remarked that they were taken due to the Scudetto run.
Juventus and AC Milan were embroiled in an extremely close title race last year, with Juventus eventually coming on top. Where Juventus had a few, if any, players injured for majority of the season; Milan’s treatment table was always occupied for the course
of last season.

http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Antonio-Cassano-c6302 were out of action for lengthy course of time, as Gattuso had an eye condition and Cassano suffered from a mini heart attack on the Milanese flight back from Rome.
The pressure exerted by Juventus piled on the worries of AC Milan and Massimiliano Allegri went on to concede that the pressure made him make risky decisions. However, in his defence, he remarked that he would not be coming under this much scrutiny had the
club been able to lift the Serie A Championship.
He also remarked that at times you were forced to take risks, and it was a double edged sword. If the risk pays off, then it is all well and good; however, if it backfires then there is unprecedented criticism of the risk taker.
He went on to remark:
"The problems were in the final stages of last season. I made some mistakes, there’s no doubt about that. The more risks you take, the more you get injured players. But the objective was worth it.”
He remarked that they were unavoidable gambles if they wanted to continue pressure on the top, and mentioned:
"If we had won the Scudetto last season, then no one would have discredited our work. Instead we finished as runners-up, and then people say that we’re destroying our players. There’s only one solution when it comes to solving traumatic injuries:
start playing board games instead."
The head coach of the Milanello was talking to La Stampa.
