Massimiliano Allegri has returned to AC Milan for a second stint and plans to approach the Serie A season as a marathon rather than a sprint. Milan will not play in European competition this term after finishing eighth, and Champions League qualification is the minimum target. Allegri emphasized steady progress, desire, hard work and attention to detail in training as keys to reaching that aim. Milan beat Bari 2-0 in a Coppa Italia tie, and Allegri expressed curiosity returning to the touchline after a year away. He expects 75,000 fans at San Siro for the opener against Cremonese and wants the team in strong condition until at least March.
I always say that in the league you have to move forward like you're on a cruise. You can't go too fast, but you must stay steady,
Next year, we all know Milan must return to the Champions League without setting limits for ourselves, and we can only achieve that by focusing on desire, hard work and attention to detail in training.
Tomorrow, we start the season with an important match. I'm very curious, also because I'm returning to the touchline after a year away,
It was wonderful to see so many people in the Coppa Italia and tomorrow there will be 75,000 fans here. We need to work well and try to get to at least March in the best possible condition. I'm very happy with the players - this is a group that is becoming a real team.
