Allegri: ‘Is the title race over? Inter hold their destiny in their own hands’

Rome, 20 March (LaPresse) – "Is the Scudetto race over? It’s normal following the defeat to Lazio. That’s what makes football wonderful; everyone thought Inter had dropped two points, but that wasn’t the case. They hold their Scudetto fate in their own hands; we hold ours for the Champions League. We must focus on one match at a time. Then, when the maths says that Inter have won the Scudetto and that Milan are in the Champions League, then we won’t be able to win the Scudetto anymore and we won’t be able to qualify for the Champions League.” So said Max Allegri, Milan’s manager, on the eve of the match against Torino, referring to the friction between Pulisic and Leao. We must look ahead but also behind. That’s what makes football wonderful: balance is key. Until you’ve achieved your goal, you must stay focused on it. You need to pick up points tomorrow to take a small step forward. Against Lazio, we could have been more clinical and we paid dearly for it. Tomorrow we need to play a disciplined game, without overdoing it, and with the aim of taking home the three points,” he added.
