Allegri: I feel sorry for losing 2 points now, but this 1 point is also important at the end of the season

In the 8th round of Serie A this morning, Milan drew 2-2 at home with Pisa. After the game, Milan coach Allegri accepted an interview with DAZN.

Milan used a set piece to equalize the score at the last minute.

We knew that the opponent had a strong header ability, so we tried different set-piece tactics.

What do you think of this result?

We regret the result because we really wanted to win. . But this game will definitely be good for us as well because we tied the score and certain types of games need to be handled in a different way.

Milan was suppressed by the opponent in the first 10 minutes of the second half.

These 10 minutes were just like the first 15 minutes of our previous game against Fiorentina, exactly the same, and we must improve. After taking a 1-0 lead, we should have played more aggressively and tried to turn the game into 2-0, but we were too relaxed at that time and our formation was relatively loose. The distance between our forwards and defenders was already widened in the first half. After we equalized, there were still 5 minutes left. Although Salma Kors also had a good chance, we should not have given the opponent a chance and caused Pavlovic to have to save the ball one-on-one. After the score became 2-2, we had to keep this result. It would be better if it could be 3-2, but in that case we can't take any more risks. However, we fell short in those areas tonight and we will take that as motivation to continue to improve.

How did Jimenez and Leo perform?

Leo plays very well. The more games he participates in, the better he will be. He has the physical and technical qualities to become a center and second forward. When Nkunku came on, they worked well together. It's a pity because there was a good chance to make the score 2-1. Jimenez made some good runs in the first half, but I thought we were a little lax without the ball. In the second half we at least kept it compact, but then that penalty was awarded...it was an unintentional handball...but we need to keep working hard.

Are there any issues that new players need to pay special attention to?

No, absolutely not. This is the growth process of young players. Some players have little game experience, but they have come to Milan to play, which is not easy. Bart Sacchi proved himself again tonight, Derwent had a good game, and Arte Kamei is a young man in the making. They have very little experience in major competitions and it is not easy to play in Milan. But they do have good potential and we must always play to their strengths.

Milan missed the opportunity to stay at the top of the list?

No, when you just end this kind of game, you will feel sorry for losing 2 points. But by the end of the season, this 1 point will also become very important.
