Allegri: "We know that the schedule until the next international break is difficult, but all games are inherently complicated and difficult, and even last Friday we caused trouble for ourselves against Pisa: we could have done better. The important thing is to focus on tomorrow's game: Chik tomorrow Pulisic will be back before the game against Parma, and Estupinian is expected to be available against Roma, so that we can have a complete lineup after the international break, but it is enough to cope with these games before the international break."

About Nkunku and Atlan. Major and fatigue problems

In terms of physical fitness, we will reduce the training volume to speed up recovery: this is the most dangerous period of injury during the intensive schedule. It will be a direct conversation against Atlanta, because Atlanta is one of the candidates to compete for the top four. "

Can Leo score 20-25 goals?

Allegri: "I think he can reach this number. His condition is improving and he is increasingly adapting to the role of an attacker. He needs to improve his performance in the penalty area: he has had important opportunities before but failed to make full use of them. He must be more ruthless. Although he can score wonderful goals outside the penalty area, he needs to improve his performance in the penalty area. The performance needs to improve. Just as the whole team needs to improve, he also needs to grow."

About Jimenez and the goal drought

Allegri: "Jimenez performed well and contributed a lot to the team. You can't take it for granted that he performed well as a substitute against Fiorentina. It is determined that he must start, and he cannot be abandoned because of his poor performance against Pisa. Player strength is constant. Jimenez is an excellent player who has always scored goals in the past and he can do the same in Milan. "

Serie A competition is open...

Allegri: "The Serie A structure is currently open, and the next step is to see who has the ability to score points continuously. Judging from the results, we lost two points on Friday, but on the field we actually won one point. We have to continue our form tomorrow against a team that is both physical and technical, and then prepare in the best possible way for Sunday's game against Roma. "

Allegri: "We must look forward, that's all. You can't look back on the past. In today's football world with crazy offensive and defensive rhythms and frequent confrontations, officiating is extremely difficult. VAR has improved many situations, but when it comes to subjective judgments, it will always cause controversy. The referees should be allowed to work on their own, and they will make mistakes. Like we make mistakes, everyone makes mistakes. We need to accept mistakes more calmly. We turn a blind eye when the penalty is favorable, and even open the third eye when it is not favorable (laughing). The referees have a young group as well as the players..."

How to arrange Modric's time?

Allegri: "Luka is very good at self-management. He performs well in his new position. He seems to run more, but in fact it is because of his excellent running efficiency that gives this impression. He plays wonderful football... The more time he is on the pitch, the better for everyone The better for everyone, including the audience.”

The Referees Association believes that Moreo’s foul on Gabbia is not enough to disqualify the goal...

Allegri: "I don’t know how to respond to this issue...I emphasized one point to the team: it must be paid attention to." Performance on the field, whether good or bad, must be subject to the referee's decision. In the last five minutes against Pisa, we should have stayed clear and calm to organize three offensive opportunities, just like the opportunity created by Salle Markers. But we performed poorly, all in the penalty area, and twice leaving Nzola unguarded in our half. If we had conceded the ball at that time, we will still bear the pain of defeat to this day. The focus should be on the game itself rather than the wrong call. A team that has quality and is not arrogant, knows it has the ability to win. fight The discussion should not affect us. "

About Yasari and Pulisic

Allegri: "Pulisic will definitely not be able to play against Roma and hopes to be on the bench against Parma. His recovery is progressing well. Yasari is expected to gradually start training with the team on Wednesday. He needs time to recover. We will arrange friendly matches during the international break: he has not played for three and a half months. It is important for him to return to the team, especially for him personally, who needs to re-adapt and regain his form. ”

Allegri: "If these problems can be improved, this draw will be priceless. After 1-1, we responded well overall, but in the last 5 minutes we were too impatient and made mistakes while busy. We started to cross blindly, and when 20 people gathered in the penalty area, It will only be counterattacked. Fortunately, no goals were conceded, but it should have been handled more calmly. It would have been acceptable if the draw was 1-1, not 2-2. "

Tudor is on the verge of dismissal (it has not been officially announced at the time of the press conference)... Do you have expectations for the transfer market?

Allegri: "I would be very sorry if he was fired. He is a very good person. Milan has a strong lineup and injuries are unexpected. We are gradually recovering the injured. The existing players performed well. We are in good physical condition and have played a lot of good football at the technical and tactical level. We should not always worry about the missing players, we have other excellent players available. It is not that we can't win without those five people. When all the players return, we will only become stronger. Milan's lineup is very competitive.. "

How should the coach assist the referee in his work?

Allegri: "For myself: I should lose my temper less, but I am also human and sometimes I lose control. But even in those moments, I have to work hard to maintain restraint. "

Looking ahead to the future schedule

Allegri: "We will face Atlanta tomorrow, and then strive to enter the international match in the best condition, and strive to occupy a favorable ranking at the end of December. The critical period of Milan's season is January and February: we must stay in the Champions League competition and launch the sprint after March. We were not masters of miracles before, and we should not belittle ourselves now. Process management needs to be done. Football speaks for itself by winning, so the focus is on actions rather than empty words. "

About Ricci

Allegri: "Ricci is currently not playing his best position. But he performed well and I'm happy with it. There are situations where passing speed needs to be increased. I believe that as he accumulates experience, he will be able to serve as a deep-lying playmaker in the future. "

About Fofana

Allegri: "Fofana is also improving on the defensive end. I think he has great potential and he needs to be stricter with himself because he could contribute more with his physical and technical conditions. "

Is it your request to streamline the lineup?

Allegri: "The current number of players is mutually agreed upon between me and the club. It's a pity that if I could have predicted that five people would be injured after the national team game in October, the club would have added more players. But the positive side is: we see that Bart Sacchi is expected to become the future star of Milan, Derwent is a Milan-level player, and Ricci also has the ability to play for Milan. So there are still positives. "

Do you agree with Conte's view that "it is the coach, not the management, who should speak"?

Allegri: "I think sometimes the coach speaks out, and sometimes the management needs to come forward. This has always been the case. But every club is different. "

Do you support the coach's challenge to the VAR rule?

Allegri: "Serie B has implemented this rule. Since VAR has been introduced, it is reasonable to equip challenge opportunities. "
