"Massimiliano Allegri is looking for his 100th win as AC Milan head coach, but there is a lot more than just that at stake in Parma. As Corriere dello Sport report this morning, 'failure is forbidden' in Parma. This time, Allegri doesn't want to fall victim of the trap that his side fell into against Cremonese and Pisa, especially on a night where he is chasing a century of wins with the Rossoneri."
"The coach's request is very clear: the away match against Parma can't be underestimated. Precedents speak for themselves, as Milan have always had tough matches in Parma. Last season they lost 2-1, and they haven't won at the Tardini in nearly five years. Allegri doesn't want to drop any more points along the way, especially after dropping five against newly-promoted sides already. In his pre-match press conference he sounded a warning to his players: "We need to mentally prepare for a match that won't be pretty.""
Massimiliano Allegri seeks his 100th win as AC Milan head coach in the away fixture at Parma and demands strict focus from his players.

Allegri called for reflection on conceding from crosses and failure to close out games and demanded improved finishing and intensity.
