Allegri: Seeing Modric plays football is a pleasure, Milan s goal is to return to the Champions League

In the third round of Serie A held early this morning, Milan defeated Bologna 1-0 at home. After the game, Milan coach Allegri accepted an interview with DAZN.

Modric scored a goal in this game. How enjoyable do you see him playing?

Modric is an extraordinary player and watching him play football is a pleasure. He is a very modest person, it's really great, and he can always predict the weaknesses of football 1 minute in advance. All the players performed well today, and it is very important to win at home and not concede the ball. During difficult times, the team remained united. At such moments, it is important not to divide, but to unite and overcome difficulties.

S-How is Jimenez performing?

He ran a lot and tried hard to put pressure on his opponent. Indeed, he had two or three important opportunities, but after doing a lot of work for the team, he seemed a little tired. He is a very good guy and is very technically excellent, and I am very satisfied.

Milan did not concede the goal and was able to read the game at a critical moment, how important is it?

This is a great group of players who work hard and never complain. Our goal with the club is to return to the Champions League, we must continue to improve, not be complacent, and we must continue to improve in all aspects of the game. But I also have to point out that the players are doing very well and we are working hard to do better every day.

You took off your coat and protested the penalty at the last moment and got a red card for it. What happened at that time?

nothing special. There was a penalty kick that was not awarded, and I had an argument with the fourth official, but fortunately my coat saved me.

Menion was replaced by injury in the 56th minute. What is his condition?

He certainly can't participate in our next game against Udinese, and a calf injury is very dangerous. Terraciano performed well in San Siro's debut and I'm very happy. In addition we have Toriyani, who is also very good. What’s important is that the whole team works together like tonight, and it’s important to have this right spirit in difficult times and move forward step by step.

Milan midfielders will swap positions in each other during the game

The players all have this characteristic. When opponents use man-tapping defense, they switch positions, which is one of their characteristics.
