"Forget about the investment. He has extraordinary technical qualities, he also arrived late. He had a good game at home against Lazio, especially in the decisive moments. He also has to be convinced that he can be decisive. I'm convinced that he'll do well. And maybe tomorrow he can score a goal."
"Santiago is working hard. We hope to have him back during the week. His ankle is fine. We need him. He hasn't scored much, even though he's come close. He's a reliable player, he's worked a lot for this team, he's had a lot of chances. He's had three goals ruled out by an inch. He scored a lot for Feyenoord, it's not that he's unlearned how to score."
Christopher Nkunku and Santiago Gimenez both signed for over €30m this year to address AC Milan's attacking problems but have yet to score a league goal, each only netting once in the Coppa Italia. Calls have emerged to sell Gimenez and rumours have linked Nkunku with a mid-season exit. Massimiliano Allegri defended both players, praising Nkunku's extraordinary technical qualities, late arrival, recent good performance against Lazio and need for confidence, and expressing belief he will score. Allegri said Gimenez is working hard, has a fine ankle, has been unlucky with disallowed goals and remains a reliable scorer.
