Milan also loses in Udine, but Allegri stays in the saddle. Here they are the substantial themes of the AC Milan Sunday, the umpteenth disappointment of this bad start to the season. Things go so badly that Allegri even manages to find the full part of the glass, almost as difficult as getting out of this crisis. "We lost, but seeing the team play courageously, even with nine players, gives me strength and boosts my self-esteem" declared the Rossoneri coach, more relieved at the lack of exemption than angry at the defeat. Immediately after the match, the Via Turati club confirmed the Tuscan coach, who however will have to reverse course from Wednesday, when Cagliari will arrive at San Siro. “Talking about my exemption makes no sense: you have to talk about this with the club – reiterated Allegri. – For my part there is no problem, even if certainly the results are lacking. Today, for example, we suffered a defeat, but we had a decent match. We made some mistakes, like on the occasion of the decisive penalty and we have to work to avoid these things".
In fact, some improvement compared to the matches against Atalanta and Anderlecht has been seen (but some could argue that it didn't take much...), but the defensive disasters ruined everything. Allegri presented a taller and more compact team than usual, which in the first few minutes seemed to have found the crux of the matter. Then, on the development of an apparently harmless free-kick, the patatrack arrived, with Ranegie good at exploiting the madness of the award-winning Abbiati-Mexes company. But the Rossoneri found the strength to react and at the start of the second half they equalized, thanks to El Shaarawy's prowess. Then the umpteenth error, this time a placement error, which forced Zapata to commit a penalty foul, with consequent expulsion, which Di Natale coldly transformed. The last pearl of the day came from the referee, too strict in expelling even Boateng for a venial foul. But as they say, it always rains in the wet, and the Rossoneri will have to face Cagliari without the Colombian (still good performance) and the Ghanaian. It doesn't matter, Milan will have to win. Otherwise the love story (?) with Allegri could suffer a big tear, perhaps decisive.
