Allegri: Tomorrow's Result Will Define Our Season

AC Milan's head coach, Massimiliano Allegri, has stressed the importance of tomorrow's match against Cagliari, the final game of the season. Currently third, a win will guarantee their spot in the Champions League. However, a loss could allow competitors Roma, Como, and Juventus to overtake them.

The Season's Final Push

"Our rhythm this year has been tragic. We've only scored one point in our last three home games. These are the numbers. Tomorrow is our last game of the season, and this is my last press conference before the final match of this campaign. Thank you for sticking with us. We've had fun, which is the most important thing," Allegri stated.

He added, "We will approach Cagliari with great respect. They have a debutant coach in Pizacane, who has done an excellent job. They've had a good season, and I'm happy because I have a strong connection with Cagliari. Tomorrow, we will play seriously. With a positive result, we will qualify for the Champions League."

The Future Depends on Tomorrow

Allegri's contract runs until 2027, and it will automatically be extended for another season if AC Milan qualifies for the Champions League. When asked about his future, Allegri responded, "The future is tomorrow. This is the most important game for everyone. It's not sensible to talk about the future now. I have a contract with AC Milan, and I'm happy to stay. Tomorrow's result will define opinions. If we qualify for the Champions League, we will have had a good season. If we don't, it will be different. Before Genoa, we were dead; after, we were alive. Tomorrow's result is the only thing that matters."

He concluded by emphasizing the importance of not underestimating the match: "The mistake we need to avoid tomorrow is approaching the game without enough concentration. Our approach will be fundamental. We need to do the same things we did in Genoa. We need to stay focused, despite all the criticism."

Allegri also announced that all players, including Luka Modric, will be available for tomorrow's match. "Luka is an example for everyone in the club. Pulishi and Leao can still give a lot to AC Milan. This year, they were plagued by injuries, but they are now healthy and ready for tomorrow."
