ALLEGRI INTERVIEW AT MALPENSA

With great realism, Mr. Allegri, interviewed this morning at the Malpensa airport, has focused on the three points in the game on Sunday night. Without distraction, the Barcelona match is also part of the preparation.

MILAN - Shortly before take-off for Catalonia, and Massimiliano Allegri said: "For us, beyond the prestige of the event, tonight's game is important, it serves as training for the game on Sunday evening against Lecce which is what counts most. The team was on track against Juventus Sunday night we did well, we created a lot and have given little away. Kaladze? It seems to me that Jankulovski was called up today... anyway I only make technical choices and the players know it. "

Allegri continued: "I challenge any coach to refuse to train Ibrahimovic as he is a star, but we are working with the lads who are there, who will start or who we will look at between now and August 31st. Even without the arrival of Ibrahimovic, Milan has to be a protagonist and feel it. If Ibrahimovic arrives, it strengthens an area which is already strong."

Other topics in closing: "Pato is a lot better and I think he will be available on Sunday. Ronaldinho? In Barcelona he did well, he lived through the most important season of his career, but today he is 30 years old, physically he can do better, we expect a lot from him and he knows it."
