AC Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri has urged fans to stay calm after their recent defeat in the Supercoppa Italiana semi-finals. The Rossoneri fell 2-0 to Napoli, with goals from David Neres and Rasmus Højlund sealing the win for Antonio Conte’s side.
Despite the setback, Allegri emphasized the importance of staying focused on their goal of finishing in the top four of Serie A. Milan have now fallen behind in their last four matches, but they remain second in the league standings, just a point behind Inter.
Allegri acknowledged that mistakes were made in the match against Napoli and stressed the need for improvement. The team will now turn their attention to their upcoming game against Hellas Verona on December 28.
The Opta supercomputer predicts Milan to finish in the Serie A top four in 83.4% of its season simulations, giving them a strong chance of securing a Champions League spot. Despite the recent defeat, Allegri remains confident in his team’s abilities to achieve their objectives.
Milan had their chances in the game against Napoli, registering an expected goals (xG) total of 1.28. However, Allegri was disappointed with the ease at which Napoli scored their goals and admitted that the opposition was the better team on the day.
The defeat to Napoli marked the first time Milan failed to score and conceded at least two goals in all competitions since January. Allegri stressed the need for improvement and better defensive organization moving forward.
Overall, Allegri remains optimistic about Milan’s prospects and is determined to see his team bounce back from their recent setback. Stay tuned for more updates on AC Milan’s journey in Serie A.
