From our correspondent Valerio Clari

– Milano–

The minimum goal was achieved by avoiding excessive heart tests, the one left in the league (third place) moves little, the prospect of the Italian Cup on Wednesday carries thoughts and prudence. Max Allegri announces that, however, the concessions to turnover will not be too many, also given the numerous absences: “We must try to score as many points as possible, we have reached the minimum goal of qualifying for the Champions League and we need to prepare for the Italian Cup final. in six days. But the best training will go into the field. And now we are free from the mental burden of reaching fourth place ”. There are two sure absentees, in addition to long-term patients: Danilo who will rest because he played with plantar fasciitis and Pellegrini struggling with a sprained ankle. Someone will return, like De Sciglio, disqualified in the Italian Cup, while the young Miretti will be confirmed in midfield and Vlahovic should be the starter in attack.

THE CHAMPIONS

—

Allegri’s conference at the Stadium comes less than twelve hours after Real’s feat at the Bernabeu, so the distance between that football and that of Serie A is a theme: “Yesterday there was a technical and physical level so high as to make the wonderful match. Real Madrid have shown that games never end and that the mental aspect can make a difference. In recent years there are six teams in Europe clearly superior to all the others: Real, Psg, Bayern, Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool. But becoming aware of reality is easier to do well. The reality is that the Champions League at the moment is a very difficult competition for us to win, but I always say that nothing is impossible, because at the start we don’t have to put “limiters”.

THE CLASSICS

—

Allegri returns to the Madrid match to pay two compliments: “To Orsato, who is the best Italian referee and obviously to Carlo. Ancelotti is not a fashion coach, but fashions pass but the classics remain, and Carlo is. From him there is only to learn: you have to ask him for things “. Two goals came from Rodrygo, twenty-one years old: “If young people are good they play, but I want to see the statistics, I don’t think they play more abroad than in Italy. In this sense, Juve are favorites in Italy, because they have the Under 23s. I have to congratulate Zauli who is making his way into the playoffs. Young people play against experienced players and in real matches: this is how you grow “. A step forward is also expected from Vlahovic: “I am very happy with what Dusan is doing, I did not expect him to enter the team so well by entering the current championship”.

Then the Italian Cup and the balance sheets take the stage: “The Italian Cup final does not change anything in the judgment on the season, but it moves because you can bring home a trophy, moreover with a great audience frame. We are all looking forward to an evening like this “. In the championship it is possible to reach 78 points, Pirlo’s share: “Three months ago we were very far from fourth place, afterwards we had no more margin for error, we were good at reaching the minimum goal soon”.
