ALLEGRI: "CONCENTRATED ONLY ON TOMORROW"

Our final away game of the season is also one of our most important, because it could be crucial in the race for Champions League football. Ahead of Genoa v AC Milan, Massimiliano Allegri gave his press conference.

TOWARDS GENOA
"We knew it would be a difficult end to the season but tomorrow we have an important game against Genoa, we need to play an organised match and show patience. The squad has worked well, in the training camp they have prepared and also rested. It is natural that when you are at AC Milan, you must always try to reach the highest objective, but it is only at the end of the season that you can analyse what the mistakes may have been. At this moment we must all be focused solely on tomorrow's match against Genoa".

THE TEAM
"I have a group of serious, professional players who care deeply. They too have been suffering through this month and a half, during which we have not got the results we expected, throwing away the advantage we had over fifth place. However, they must not think about the past, only give their best tomorrow. Modrić has tried the face mask and has trained with the squad. Ricci has had a slight ankle sprain, he is coming with us and we will see how he is. Everyone else is fine. One between Nkunku and Pulisic will play. It will be hot at midday and the substitutes will be needed. Füllkrug is fit, as is Gimenez, and I will assess tomorrow who to start".

DEFENSIVE PHASE
"In recent matches we have been conceding goals too easily: three against Udinese, two against Sassuolo, three against Atalanta and also the two against Torino at home. Tomorrow, we will need to be focused as a team in the defensive phase. We play, we run and we try to think as little as possible".

THE FUTURE
"This season we have worked to the maximum, we have certainly made some mistakes in the last month and a half, but the professional commitment in training and during matches has never been lacking. Jerry Cardinale's words please me, we met and I gave him my point of view on the season and on the future of AC Milan, which is what matters most".
