Allegri: Milan needs to improve its ability to perceive danger, otherwise anyone can defeat us

Hupu, August 24th, AC Milan lost 1-2 to the newly promoted Ma Cremona in the first game of Serie A in the new season. Milan coach Allegri accepted an interview with the broadcaster after the game and attended a press conference.

What do you think of this game?

"If we look at the performance, we have many shots. But the key to the problem is your determination when you attack and your focus when you defend. We could have paid more attention to these aspects, but fortunately it is still early in the season and we can continue to improve. What we should do tonight is to improve our perception of danger, just like we must do in the next 37 games, otherwise we will be a team that anyone can beat."

What did you not expect tonight?

"From the way of conceding the ball, what we need to improve is the ability to perceive danger, which needs to be improved. In the penalty area, we defend 5 and 3, but the opponent can still jump without a mark, which is definitely not possible. Similarly, when Pezera starts up from the backcourt, we cannot limit it in advance. This is the lack of perceive danger. If you can't perceive, you will always concede the ball." Is

Milan's lineup incomplete?

"It makes no sense to draw conclusions on the roster now, we have worked well so far and will continue. In Serie A you will encounter a team as tough as Cremona, whose victory is not a fluke. We made two mistakes that led to this loss, and we have to be more fierce when off the ball, and the same when holding the ball."

How worried are you about this lack of ruthlessness?

"The first game is never easy, and the state is impossible to be at its best. In this kind of game, you can't concede the ball, but we still lost it. The team once equalized the score, and there were some potential opportunities to score goals in the second half, but we didn't do it, and then we lost another one. We knew that the opponent was good at crossing, but we didn't sense the danger in advance. We must work hard on these situations, as I often say, we can't concede two goals in each game."

What do you think of Santiago Jimenez's condition?

"He is a little behind in his physical condition, but he also worked very hard and tried his best. In the last moment, he had a very beautiful header opportunity, but unfortunately he didn't succeed. But this is not a personal problem for Santiago, but a problem for all of us: when we go to the game and prepare for the game, we must take responsibility and we must never lose the ball like this."

Naples also lost in the first game last year...

"No matter what happened last year, in all We have to see the positive side of the negative. When training resumes on Monday, we have to prepare for the next game against Lecce, which is a tough away game. We have to be ready to play a little dirty, because if we play too cleanly every game, we may lose, win, or draw, but there will be no stability. The team has improved before, but unfortunately we fell on these two mistakes tonight. "

Is this lineup strong enough?

"I only know one thing: this team has high-quality players. Tonight we didn't lose because of the lack of Leo or someone else... We lost because we didn't feel the danger: when you don't have the right to the ball and don't feel the danger, you can lose the ball at any time, so you have to improve your attention and perception.

Although we created opportunities, we then lost the ball on the opponent's first cross, which is unacceptable. Serie A is a tough league, you have to win those tough battles, especially the early season games, and tonight we made a mistake at this point. It's not a tactical or technical issue, but a leap, a mind change... Maybe you can't win tonight, but you shouldn't lose either."

Is there a problem with the midfield?

"We have to find the stability of the entire team and can't concede two goals in this way."

The team makes a lot of technical mistakes...

" This is how the early game of the league is. This is exactly why you have to have stability, which allows you to score goals through one or two opportunities. We can't concede this type of goal anymore. If we really want to concede, it must be because the opponent has to play very, very good.
