Rome, 10 Apr. (LaPresse) – ‘From here to the end, balance must prevail; we’re still a few points short of our target, so we need to get there one step at a time. The facts are clear: in our last three matches, we’ve lost twice away from home, and since the Parma game, we’ve failed to score on three occasions. We need to tackle this with great composure and clarity.’ So said Max Allegri, Milan’s manager, on the eve of the home match against Udinese. “It’s normal that after losing in Naples and dropping to second place, you find yourself nine points behind Inter. The first couple of days were the hardest. But then we need to refocus on the objective. Perhaps we haven’t been good enough to close the gap on Inter; we need to work to improve, without losing sight of the Champions League objective. There are seven games left, and there are teams that are improving. It happens during the season that there are times when the strikers score and others when they don’t. But I’m sure that between now and the end of the season they’ll score the goals we need to qualify for the Champions League,” added the Rossoneri manager.
