Rome, 27 Nov. (LaPresse) – "It's normal for the Milan derby to be important, it gives you a big adrenaline rush. But we mustn't lose sight of the ultimate goal: finishing in the top four. There are currently seven teams within seven points, with Lazio coming back into contention. They've been underestimated, Sarri is doing a great job. They haven't made any transfers, they've had injuries, so Saturday will be a difficult match for us because they are a well-organised team that seems to give you space but doesn't give you much. They have a chance to get back into the Champions League." So said Max Allegri, Milan coach, two days before Saturday evening's match against Lazio at San Siro. ‘The victory in the derby was wonderful, but that's enough. It's Thursday, and on Saturday there's another important match. There are three points that would allow us to take a small step towards our goal,’ he added.
