Massimiliano Allegri, the head coach of AC Milan, acknowledged that competing for the Italian league title is no longer within his team's calculations at the moment, following the defeat to Napoli, affirming that the main goal has become qualifying for the Champions League.

Allegri said: "It was a game with few chances, and we felt that a single moment could decide it, and Napoli managed to capitalize on it even though our defense was in position."

He continued: "We should have been quicker in finishing attacks during the second half, we hesitated a lot, which gave the opponent a chance to press us and close the spaces."

He added: "I think Nkunku and Füllkrug played a good game, and Nkunku in particular worked a lot for the team, but he needed to score one of the chances he had."

He continued: "Football is decided by these details, the team played well overall, but we made some mistakes, whether in handling chances or facing counter-attacks."

He explained: "We regained the ball more than once in their half, but the passes were not accurate, and this is a very important element that we need to improve."

He touched on the tactical aspects, saying: "The 4-3-3 formation is a possible option, but it depends on the physical condition, Pulisic recently returned from the international break, and Leão was not fully ready after his absence for a period."

Allegri confirmed: "The league race is not for us now, Inter is far ahead and Napoli has surpassed us, so we must focus only on ourselves."

He concluded his statements by saying: "Our goal is to qualify for the Champions League, and we still have work to do to achieve that, and it will not be decided in a short period, but it requires consistency in positive results."
