Massimiliano Allegri praised his Milan side's response in
Saturday's 1-0 win over Sampdoria following a poor run of form.
Valter Birsa's goal in the first minute of the second
half gave Milan their first win in four league matches, and afterwards Allegri
hailed a much-needed victory.
"We won a difficult and important game," he
said.
"We needed this win after three matches with just
two points. We also kept our first clean sheet and ran a few risks, aside from
a header in the first half and some long-range shots we could have avoided.
