Massimiliano Allegri was furious with his players after
Milan’s 3-0 defeat to Caen. “Technique is not enough.”
The Rossoneri played the friendly test in France this
afternoon and were fortunate to keep the scoreline down thanks to the saves of
goalkeeper Gabriel.
“It’s a shame, because when you play it should always be
to get a result,” said Allegri.
“In the first half we made several mistakes and overall
it was not a good game. I was interested to see those who were returning from
injuries or hadn’t played as much. I knew with so many kids on the field we’d
risk an embarrassment.
“In football technique is not enough. You also need
character, hunger and enthusiasm. When called upon, a player must always give
their best.”
Milan should have Kaka and Valter Birsa available for the
next Serie A match against Udinese, while doubts remain over Matias Silvestre
and Mattia De Sciglio.
“It’s not a positive moment, but we have to stay calm and
get through it,” continued Allegri.
“Gabriel, Riccardo Saponara, Mastalli and above all
Rondanini played well today. Rondanini had the right spirit that all players
ought to have when they step on to the field.
“Even if it is just a friendly, the players must give a
response to the Coach. I am not naming anyone in particular, but as a team we
played very badly. This sort of performance is unacceptable.”
