After their recent league match against Juventus, the Rossoneri are gearing up for their upcoming match against Sassuolo vs AC Milan. Ahead of the game, coach Allegri shared his thoughts during a press conference at Milanello.
ALEX ZANARDI’S MEMORY
“It’s important to honor his memory. He exemplified passion for sport, commitment, and integrity, inspiring many through his character and values. My heartfelt condolences to his family.”

“It’s unfortunate about his injury. I anticipate he’ll be unavailable until the end of the season, although he’s striving to return sooner. His determination should motivate his teammates. Either Jashari or Ricci will step up; both have proved dependable in critical moments, and I have confidence in them. Ardon is eager to learn and grow, and he has a bright future ahead. He’s a fantastic addition to AC Milan.”
SASSUOLO
“We must strive for the best possible outcome; tomorrow’s match will be tough. Sassuolo has had a remarkable season, featuring exceptional players and a brilliant coach. Fabio Grosso has made a significant impact this year. I’ve known him since his days with Juventus Primavera; he has progressed impressively. Sassuolo is formidable on counterattacks and in open play; they might appear to leave gaps but are defensively sound, punishing teams when they possess the ball.”

THE FUTURE
“We are six points away from Champions League qualification, and we can’t overlook this goal. Maintaining focus and approaching each match with intent is crucial. We’ll evaluate everything once the season closes. We’ve discussed our future plans, but success will hinge on our performance. We believe we’re laying a solid foundation; the priority remains securing Champions League qualification.”
NKUNKU AND GIMENEZ
“Nkunku is technically gifted. Despite facing some difficulties, he has continued to find the net, and his abilities are beyond question. Many elements can influence a player’s form. Santiago had an ankle issue early in the season and returned late after the Gold Cup, making it challenging to regain momentum after such a break. He’s putting in the effort and remains a top player, regardless of this season’s ups and downs.”

PULISIC AND THE SYSTEM
“Identifying players of his quality is a rarity. He continues to perform at a high level, even if he hasn’t scored recently, and his commitment to the team is invaluable. Our primary focus is the team’s success. Everyone must maintain the right mindset to achieve our goals.”
