Massimiliano Allegri, the head coach of AC Milan, spoke about his team's upcoming match against Napoli in the Italian Super Cup semi-final, emphasizing the difficulty of the game and the importance of staying focused to achieve the desired goal.

Allegri said: "Tomorrow we play a one-leg match, and the goal is to qualify for the final on Monday. Napoli is a strong team, and it will be a tough encounter."

He continued: "We need to focus only on this match for now, and after that, we can think about the league."

He added: "Aside from the tactical aspects, Napoli will enter the match highly motivated after two consecutive losses."

He added, "In moments of difficulty, Antonio Conte always knows how to bring out the best in his players."

Regarding the readiness of his players, Allegri said: "Fofana is fully ready. As for Rafael Leão, we will assess his condition after today's training to determine his level of readiness."

Regarding the tactical aspects, Allegri explained: "It's not about the style of play; we always play with three players in the front line."

He added: "Salimaikers gives us balance because he can play as a third striker or as a fifth midfielder. We have players like Athekami and Jashari, and we need new energy from the returning players, especially after relying on the same players for a long time."

Regarding the condition of Santiago Jiménez, Allegri concluded his statements by saying: "He underwent conservative treatment, but the problem has recently reappeared, and he has been advised to undergo a minor surgical procedure. We hope for his speedy return. Our current focus in the transfer market is on recovering injured players, and we will discuss other matters with the club later."
