Allegri: Modric is an extremely smart player. It s very interesting to play against Juventus as an opponent.

After Milan defeated Napoli 2-1, Milan coach Allegri was interviewed by DAZN.

He said: "I'm very happy because this game is an important test for us. Our opponent Napoli is a very capable team. We played well in the first half and practiced the defense in the second half with one less player in the face. The season has just begun and the players performed very well, but from tomorrow we have to focus on the last game before the offseason."

Has Milan regained its team spirit?

"We have to keep working hard, it's just a small step forward. There will be games like today that must be gritted and persistent, but as long as we keep this spirit, it will be easier to win them. Leo's form is still a bit behind, and Nkunku is growing. We have the foundation to play well."

When did you decide this way of playing?

"Since the first game against Liverpool in the preseason, we have adopted a two-front midfielder and two-back midfielder formation. It depends on the characteristics of the front midfielder players. We will also try some changes in training to see if it can come in handy in the season."

Leo's role will be?

"I have 5 players in the frontcourt compete for 2 to 3 positions. The key is that everyone's condition needs to be improved. I regret Nkunku, who is a very talented player, but S-Jimenez's training performance is also very good. The important thing is that no matter who plays, he can do his best. Today's game is special because we have one less person on the court."

How did you make Modric so 'Alegri style'?

"Luca (Modric) is an extremely smart player. Playing in front of the defense can bring a lot of technical quality, and he is also excellent in defensive fill-up position."

After losing to Cremonese, the outside world was once pessimistic about Milan...

"Football is so strange. We only faced two crosses and conceded two goals in that game. On the contrary, we were under greater pressure when we played against Barrie. At the beginning of the season, everyone was not in a tacit understanding, but as the training deepened, they would get better and better."

Are you already considering a game against Juventus?

"Not yet, but it will definitely be a wonderful game, very wonderful. I have played here and there many times in the past, and it is also quite interesting."
