AC Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri was full of praise for his team after they clinched a 2-1 victory over Napoli to take the top spot in Serie A. The Rossoneri came out on top in a thrilling clash, with goals from Alexis Saelemaekers and Christian Pulisic sealing the win.
Despite being reduced to 10 men in the second half, Milan held on for the win after Pervis Estupinan was sent off. Allegri commended his players for their fighting spirit but emphasized that there is still more to come from the team.
“It was a tough test against a quality Napoli side, but the lads did really well,” Allegri said. “This is just the beginning for us. We need to keep working hard and focus on the next match.”
Luka Modric once again stood out for Milan with his impressive performance in midfield. The veteran midfielder’s presence was crucial in shutting down Napoli’s attacking threats and controlling the game.
“Having Modric in front of the defence brings quality and intelligence to our team,” Allegri added. “He is a valuable asset with his ability to win the ball back through interceptions.”
Milan’s victory over Napoli marks their fourth consecutive win in Serie A, and Allegri is determined to keep the momentum going as they head into the international break. The team’s resilience under pressure and strong team spirit have been key factors in their success so far this season.
