ALLEGRI: "LIVERPOOL IS A BIG TEST"

Hong Kong is the second stage of the Rossoneri's pre-season tour. Ahead of tomorrow's big friendly against English champions Liverpool, Massimiliano Allegri and Youssouf Fofana gave the customary pre-match press conference.

MASSIMILIANO ALLEGRI

LIVERPOOL
"We're going up against the Champions of England. This is a team that has won league titles and the Champions League in recent years. It's a big test for us. We need to play better than we did against Arsenal."

THE ARSENAL GAME
"Given that it was our first outing, we defended well. We could've created more going forward. That is okay for the moment."

PRE-SEASON AND THE TEAM
"It's really important to prepare physically and get to know the players. What I'm enjoying at the moment is the team's positive attitude. We hope to gel as soon as possible. The boys want to work, and this is important. First, we need to get to know each other and then get better in training day by day."

TRANSFERS
"The Club is working hard in the transfer market. Estupiñan is a big signing. Now, we need to bring in some more statement signings that fit with the system."

MODRIĆ
"He's a top player. He will be an example for everyone on and off the pitch."

YOUSSOUF FOFANA

LIVERPOOL
"I think it'll be a tough game. They've been one of the best teams in the world in the last five years. It'll be a great test for us, and we want to play well."

NEXT SEASON
"We're working on being more consistent than last season. We have started a new project, and we'll see how it ends up. Last season didn't go the way we wanted, but that's behind us now. We have a new coach, new staff, and we want to bring new energy. Personally, I'm feeling good."

PRE-SEASON
"It's hard to play games all around the world, especially for the body after such long journeys. We're not at our best in these early games, it's part of the job, but I think it's the same for other teams too."
