Allegri: Roma fully deserved the lead in the first 35 minutes of the game, we made many mistakes

In the 10th round of Serie A, Milan narrowly defeated Roma 1-0 at San Siro. After the game, Rossoneri coach Allegri discussed related topics.

About the team's performance throughout the game

In the first 35 minutes of the game, Roma fully deserved to take the lead and we made every possible mistake. After taking the lead, our defense became more solid and we were able to switch to a four-midfield formation. We went onto the pitch in the second half with the right attitude and had opportunities to extend the lead, but although Roma then stepped up their attack, they struggled to create clear scoring chances.

About the confidence built by the team

This is a process, the team needs to build confidence and belief, especially when playing at the San Siro Stadium. We were missing some experienced players today, including Pulisic, Rabiot and Fikayo Tomori, so it was an opportunity to test the other players and they performed well.

About the forward combination of Leo and Nkunku

Leo and Nkunku performed very well, and we must make full use of our own characteristics. Although Nkunku is not tall, he is very capable of heading the ball. We need to create more chances in the box and we did a good job of that tonight.
