Sunday 09-11-2025
After the end of the eleventh round match of the Italian league, between Milan and Parma which ended in a 2-2 draw, AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri spoke about his team's performance and missed opportunities, explaining the reasons for the draw and praising some players returning from injuries.

Allegri said about the match result: "We lost two points, I don’t know how it would have ended if we had gone into halftime leading 2-0, but we should have performed better, even aside from the goal, we came out for the second half in a chaotic manner and allowed them big chances before the equalizing goal from throw-ins and corners, we were half asleep. When we started playing again, we had three chances to score that we didn’t capitalize on, it was a psychological matter, the match seemed to be on the right track, but fear appeared when they scored. Parma took advantage of that mental edge and regained their confidence, we should have continued our play.

Allegri on Estupinan and the return of players: "No, Estupinan returned after a long injury, and I think he prevented a crucial goal with a huge save, it’s not just one player who is responsible, we all should have been ready for the confrontation, and Christian Pulisic returned as a late substitute and formed a partnership with Rafael, but the big opportunity for victory was not utilized.

On managing the team and player performance: "Pulisic and Leao performed well during the preparation as well, Adrien Rabiot should return after the international break, we can play in several different ways, but the truth is that we created many opportunities today, we need more patience and not the desire to shoot after every three passes, today we were a bit foolish and lost some precious points.

On the mental toughness of the team: "We were not tough enough when leading 2-1, and we started to give it away too easily, you can face a moment of pressure, but if you can’t play well in those moments, at least you have to fight for every ball."
