The 45-year-old has expressed his delight at the
resurgence of his side following their disastrous start to the campaign
AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri has challenged the
Rossoneri to continue their push for Champions League qualification, in the
wake of their 3-0 win over Lazio.
A double from Giampaolo Pazzini and a Kevin-Prince
Boateng strike sealed the victory against the Biancocelesti - who had Antonio
Candreva sent off in the first half - with Milan leapfrogging the visitors into
third spot.
"The team deserves to be in third place, as they are
playing well," he told reporters after the game.
"We must remember to stay focused in our fight for
Europe. These days we are more organised as a side, which makes it easier to
win.
"We're in good shape, and I hope we can continue
this way until season's end. We've got to concentrate on achieving this
objective."
Lazio boss Vladimir Petkovic admitted the San Siro side
were now favourites to qualify for the Champions League, but felt they were
aided by the performance of the referee.
"Milan are the team to beat, but from the 16th
minute [when Candreva saw red] onwards, it was to be a totally different game.
When people complain about referees, I hope they don't forget us.
"As happened against Fiorentina, again we payed the
price for certain decisions. While these things happened, we might have been on
a par with Milan at full strength.
"I have to compliment my team however, as they tried
to give their best till the end."
