Massimiliano Allegri was pleased with Milan’s victory in
Catania, but brushed off reports of racist abuse towards Mario Balotelli.
The Rossoneri had scraped just three points from their
previous five Serie A games, but fought back from a goal down to win 3-1 in
Sicily.
“The performance was one of great intensity and
unfortunately we conceded a goal at the first chance,” the Coach told Sky Sport
Italia.
“We could’ve scored more, but in any case were able to
win with a two-goal cushion. The one thing I’d like to see is a better control
of possession after taking the lead, but overall I liked the team. We are
pushing forward and the work is starting to bear fruit.”
Balotelli was substituted after repeatedly arguing with
Catania defender Nicolas Spolli, who he reportedly accused of using a racist
insult.
“It was a fair game, I don’t think anything happened,”
shrugged Allegri. “Balotelli was a little tense and I preferred to remove him
from the game, especially as were 3-1 up and he needs to rest.”
This has been a tense last few days for Milan, as
Vice-President Adriano Galliani had his resignation rejected to become joint
CEO with Barbara Berlusconi.
“We were at the training ground and didn’t realise any of
this storm was going on. The President took an important decision and we are
all working for the good of Milan.”
