00:01Welcome to the press conference, the unveiling, the presentation of the new head coach Massimiliano Allegri and Sporting Director Igli Tari is also present.
00:12Hello everybody. First of all, thank you for the big number of people who have come out to see the presentation of our new head coach Massimiliano Allegri.
00:25I'll take this opportunity to thank Mr. Allegri and his staff for the enthusiasm that they've brought to the beginning of this new adventure.
00:38His arrival at Milan was immediately something the club were enthusiastic about.
00:47We consider him an important figurehead who will bring lots of experience, lots of energy and a winner's mentality to this team.
00:59That's why it's his moment.
01:02And now I'll leave the stage to Mr. Allegri and your questions.
01:06Please ask questions for Mr. Allegri.
01:16Hello, Mr. Allegri.
01:17Hello, everybody. Welcome back.
01:20I just want to do a quick introduction.
01:29It's nice to be here in front of you.
01:33And let's start this new adventure today.
01:40Where we hopefully will have great satisfaction.
01:44The official, it was the 30th of May, there was the official announcement of your return to Milan.
01:52Since then, have you, what have you done?
01:58Have you, have you galvanized the determination?
02:02Have you, have you focused yourself on everything you want to do?
02:06When we came back, since we came back, we've started to work with the directors, with all the components of the club.
02:17To have results, good results at the end of the season, I think we have to be united as a group.
02:27Where we all go in one direction.
02:29We have to be professional, we have to be responsible.
02:32It's a very important club, Milan.
02:37A very big club.
02:39We've only just begun.
02:42I share everything Mr. Tare, the director of sport, says about the club.
02:49And we share the same dynamic.
02:53We're going to evaluate everything.
02:56We had the first training, we've had the first training sessions.
03:00Today there'll be an open training session.
03:02It's a fantastic adventure.
03:04I'm very happy, I'm very enthusiastic.
03:08I'm really glad to have returned to Milan.
03:13Where there were people, lots of people that were here in my first spell.
03:18And there were some new people.
03:19I'm very stimulated, motivated, it's great to meet new people, and it's great to work together.
03:32Welcome back, Mr. Alegri.
03:3815 years later, a lot has changed at Milan.
03:43You've changed in the last 15 years.
03:46You've won more trophies than Milan.
03:48Is this the objective, is this the target, to bring Milan back to the top, to winning the Scudetto?
03:57And also, you seemed quite emotional when you came back.
04:05The last question, let's start with the last question.
04:11Five is a lucky number for me.
04:15Milan, it's not like I've won more than Milan in these 15 years.
04:31I've had the luck to work with Milan for four years.
04:39I remember the president, Silvio Berlusconi, and Adriano Galliani.
04:44And we were in a condition to be able to win things.
04:47Thanks to the club and the players.
04:50The players I worked with, and they gave me a Scudetto.
04:55So, then I went to Juventus, and I'd actually like to take this opportunity now to thank Juventus for eight years I spent with them.
05:05The people I worked with at Juventus for eight years who supported me every day.
05:12The president, Andrea Agnelli.
05:14I had eight years with Mr. Agnelli.
05:16Very close contact with him.
05:18I've got a very good relationship with him.
05:25Having said this, I will try everything to put the players in condition to give everyone lots of satisfaction, joys, and joy, and important victories here at Milan.
05:41But it all comes from the club.
05:43The club has to be united.
05:47Everyone has to be supported.
05:48And I'm convinced that the club will support me, and we'll be a unified bloc.
05:57The Milan squad is a very good squad, I think.
06:02Now I'm getting to know the players.
06:04They're good players.
06:05The club and the director, the sporting director, are looking at all the various angles and situations.
06:15The important thing is to be in the best conditions possible on the 31st of August.
06:21And we have to start working, as I always say, to make the first six months, to create the basis, the foundations, in order to arrive in May and March in the best conditions.
06:40The season is decided in May, March and May.
06:42We have a game in the Coppa Italia in August, first of all, and that's where we start.
06:55I wanted to ask, at the end of the season, would you be happy if...
07:03No, I don't want to start with what will you feel like at the end of the season.
07:12We've only just started.
07:13I don't want to start by talking about these things.
07:17I think we have to be very enthusiastic and show lots of passion.
07:22We have to be responsible.
07:24We have to be determined.
07:24And we have to put down the foundation to be ready in March to make things happen and to hit our objectives.
07:39The first objective, I think the most important or the first important objective,
07:47that we have to play in the Champions League.
07:51That's the first objective.
07:52A club like Milan have to play in the Champions.
07:57In March, we have to be in the Champions League positions.
08:01Hello and welcome back.
08:06Last season, I know you watched Milan matches.
08:13How can you explain last season's eighth place finish,
08:20even though the squad is good?
08:23And what can you give to this Milan to improve that eighth place finish last season?
08:29It's difficult to say in football.
08:41Let me give an example.
08:42I watched Serie B, Spezia, last season.
08:48And Spezia made the playoffs last season with one extra player when the season before they played the play out.
08:59There's no explanation, really, because you have to work hard.
09:02What happened to Milan, I don't know, I'm not able to say what happened last season to comment on it.
09:09I think it would be a lack of respect.
09:10I wasn't working with Milan last season.
09:13I watched some matches, though, and I enjoyed some of them.
09:16Watching football is my passion.
09:18It's not just my job.
09:19This season, it's a new season.
09:24We have to concentrate on this.
09:26Last season, Milan won a trophy and they got to the final of the Coppa Italia.
09:31They had some great performances, some good matches in one-off matches.
09:35They were very good.
09:36I have to take the positives of last season.
09:42And when you take the positives, when the results go well, you know that there's evidence that there's a good team there.
09:51Now, I have to make them better.
09:53I have to get the best out of them.
09:54We have to work together with the players and the staff.
10:00Everyone who plays part of our training center, works at our training center at Milan, and we have to get the best out of the team.
10:11Because when you're at Milan, a big club like Milan, you have to be ambitious to get the best out of the team and never settle.
10:21But to do this, you have to be dedicated in your work, day by day.
10:31And you have to look for, you have to try in the league, above all, where it's not a one-off match.
10:38You have to cruise along smoothly.
10:48You have to travel at a certain speed.
10:53You have to reach a certain number of points.
10:56If you want to be in certain places in the table, you have to score a certain amount of goals.
11:02Concede fewer goals.
11:04The Italian league is very, very difficult.
11:10When I was a child, I was taught this.
11:13And very little has changed since then.
11:17Your first year.
11:24You arrived early on and won the Scudetto.
11:28And I want to know what your objective is for this spell.
11:35Is it to get the next league title, which bring the second star?
11:38It's not about winning matches by one goal.
11:46It's about working well.
11:50It's about bringing Milan, taking Milan back into Europe.
11:56Above all, the Champions League.
12:00Everyone has to have that target in mind.
12:03We have to get there.
12:04We can only get there with work, with everyday work, with training.
12:13Everyone, everyone, me included.
12:15Me, first of all.
12:16We have to work hard every day, and I believe in it.
12:20Hello and welcome back, Max.
12:24From your personal point of view, how have the last few months been?
12:32We've read that you were the manager that all of the clubs in Serie A were looking for.
12:42Inter were linked with you.
12:43Napoli were linked with you.
12:46Italy's team, the national team, were linked with you.
12:48If Gattuso hadn't taken the job, Gennaro Gattuso.
12:53But you chose Milan.
12:55Why?
12:56I chose Milan because I got a real affection for Milan.
13:03It's where I won a Scudetto, my first Scudetto.
13:05As the director, Iglitari said, and Giorgio Forlani.
13:14When I met them, it was a really enthusiastic, positive meeting.
13:20We decided to start this adventure together.
13:25Very happy and enthusiastic about this choice, my choice.
13:31It's been a difficult period for Milan.
13:42We're waiting for the official move of Teo Hernandez.
13:51There's a lot of talk about Dusan Vlaovic, who could be interesting to Milan.
13:58I'd like to know what your comments are on that.
14:02About the transfer market.
14:05Here, I've got the sporting director, Tare.
14:08And he is monitoring everything.
14:13We will share every day.
14:16We will look at what the opportunities are every day regarding exits, departures.
14:21They were all agreed by everybody, me and the club.
14:27Today, I've got 25 players.
14:29I'm very happy with them.
14:35Some are out injured.
14:39But I think we have to do things slowly and gradually.
14:45We have to work hard.
14:47On the 17th of August, I repeat, we've got a Coppa Italia match.
14:57It's an important starting point because it's a match.
15:00It's a one-off match.
15:01It's a knockout match.
15:02I'd like to know, last year, Napoli's example was interesting.
15:16A team without European football who were able to win the league.
15:23You've just arrived.
15:24Have you got in mind something like Napoli last year in the sense that no European football
15:31could help with the Scudetto race?
15:35And also, do you think Milan can do what Napoli did?
15:41All I can say is that when you work at Milan, you have to be ambitious
15:51and you have to aim to get the best results possible.
15:55And to do so, as I said before, you have to work hard
16:00and believe that you can get the best results possible.
16:05If we're good, if in March we're in the Champions League places
16:10or the higher places in the league table,
16:15we can work hard and we can think about it.
16:19But I'm not going to say now that we're going to win the league,
16:23we're going to win this, we're going to win that.
16:25That's not useful to say that now.
16:29What's more important is to be professional and determined and well-prepared.
16:33We have to get the results we need with hard work, passion
16:37and responsible every one of us within this club has to have.
16:51Here we are.
16:53Hello, Professor Ordine.
16:54You're being a bit defensive on certain answers.
17:04I'd like to ask something.
17:07Are you saying I'm being defensive with my answers?
17:10Let's not start saying I'm a defensive manager.
17:13Will you play a 4-3-3?
17:15Where?
17:15Ah, will you play a 3-3-3?
17:20First of all, first of all,
17:23I hope to set my team up well.
17:30That's the main thing.
17:31Is Mike Mignon the captain for next season?
17:37Rafa Leal, vice?
17:41Mike Mignon has decided to stay and he is captain of the team.
17:46He is an international player.
17:47He's important.
17:48He's one of the best goalkeepers in Europe.
17:51And the club have done very well to keep Mike Mignon,
17:54to convince him to stay.
17:56Rafa Leal is an extraordinary player.
17:58And he will have a great season.
18:04Welcome back, mister.
18:10Let's imagine this 4-3-3.
18:13Midfield, three midfielders.
18:15Who are these midfielders?
18:16With Luka Modric, where will Modric, Luka Modric play?
18:20Metzala, playmaker inside, forward?
18:26Or will he play in front of the defence?
18:28Well, Luka Modric, we're waiting for him to arrive.
18:33Because he's still playing.
18:34He'll come here in August.
18:36He's a very good player.
18:39We don't need to introduce him,
18:41because everyone knows how good he is.
18:43We have Samuel Ricci in midfield,
18:45Luka Modric when he arrives.
18:47We have Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
18:48I think he's a very good, important player.
18:52When he arrived, he scored 12 goals.
18:56We have Fofana.
18:58We have Bondo.
19:00We have Moussa.
19:02We've got very good players.
19:05In midfield.
19:06We'll play with three midfielders.
19:12But depending on their characteristics,
19:15we'll decide who we select.
19:21It depends on the players and who's available,
19:26how we'll use them in midfield.
19:29We'll try and get the best out of them,
19:30and we'll hope to get the best out of them.
19:37Here I am.
19:38Okay.
19:39Okay.
19:42You spoke about the importance of the club
19:44and the support you're receiving from the club.
19:47Do you think the situation...
19:51Do you think the arrival of a man like Iglitare
19:56is important and there wasn't a man like him last season?
20:00Regarding what happened up until one month ago,
20:04I don't know.
20:04I can't tell you.
20:06I can only tell you what I've discovered since arriving.
20:12Everyone knows their role, which is important.
20:17Iglitare is a bonus for the club.
20:21It's important that we all...
20:23We're all going in the same direction
20:26because this block, this group,
20:29which we have to have from the owner
20:32down to the people who work in the dressing room,
20:39the physiotherapists,
20:41everyone working together for Milan.
20:43We have to be a united group
20:46to get the players in the best conditions possible,
20:49to get them in the best condition to win matches.
20:50Two questions.
20:58You spoke about all the components,
21:01players, director, Tare,
21:05and the owners.
21:06You are starting with fans who were a little bit disappointed
21:14from what happened the last match of last season.
21:18The fans sent a message.
21:20Can you give a message to the fans?
21:22They want this, they would like this to be a season of rebirth for Milan.
21:30Have you got any comments on that?
21:33Regarding the owners, I met them.
21:35We had a nice, pleasant lunch together, which I enjoyed.
21:42Are we the fans?
21:43I repeat,
21:46the thing we have to do is work well.
21:53Every day, day after day,
21:55the only thing to regain the fans' respect
22:01is to work well,
22:08responsibly and professionally.
22:12And try and get the results we have to get,
22:16because they're the most important thing in football.
22:20And the fans have to give us a hand.
22:23The fans have to help us,
22:24because we will need them.
22:26Absolutely, we will need the fans.
22:30A quote.
22:38Once you said,
22:39championships are won
22:42by winning matches in which you play badly.
22:47And you also said,
22:49or someone else said,
22:50it's important to say thank you
22:54to the people that made me,
22:57took me as a man,
22:58a player,
22:59a boy,
22:59and turned me into a man.
23:01That was Dusan Vlaovic
23:02who said that.
23:04Well,
23:04I have a good relationship
23:06with Dusan Vlaovic.
23:07He arrived young
23:09from Fiorentina,
23:10and I saw him develop well.
23:12And the other quote,
23:14championships are won
23:15by winning matches
23:16when you don't play well.
23:18I don't like,
23:19I don't like statistics and numbers,
23:21but
23:21some numbers you can't avoid,
23:25some statistics.
23:26In the last 16 seasons,
23:31there's only one year
23:33when the championship
23:34was not won by the team
23:36with the best defense.
23:37I think that was Sarri at Juventus
23:40when they conceded 43 goals.
23:43When I was a child,
23:44I used to collect football stickers
23:46and I felt that goal difference
23:57was very,
23:57I realized that goal difference
23:58was very important.
23:59If you score lots,
24:01but concede lots,
24:01you won't do very well.
24:04Buongiorno, mister.
24:07Qua.
24:07Buongiorno.
24:11You spoke about Rafa Leao
24:13and said you believe
24:13he'll have a great stage.
24:14And where do you get
24:15that belief from?
24:21Everyone,
24:22everyone,
24:22every new manager at Milan
24:23has said that
24:24Rafa Leao will have
24:25a great season
24:26and will be the best player
24:27in the world.
24:30And do you,
24:31do you think you can bring
24:34the best out of Rafa Leao?
24:35I hope so.
24:37I'm convinced because
24:38he's getting to an age now
24:41where he's maturing
24:43as a player.
24:44between 27 and 30
24:47is when the players
24:48have their best,
24:49when they reach their peak.
24:51Rafa Leao is like that.
24:54As a,
24:55I think he feels
24:56more responsibility.
24:57We spoke,
24:58we've spoken.
25:01I think everything's in place
25:02for Rafa Leao
25:02to do very well.
25:03how has Max Allegri
25:17changed in these years
25:18away from Milan?
25:19I saw a photo
25:21when I was with Milan
25:22first time
25:23when I had hair.
25:27I've changed a lot.
25:28It's normal.
25:31I've had experiences.
25:32I've gained experience.
25:39The young players
25:41aren't better
25:42than the older players.
25:44It's a question
25:45of what you've done.
25:46It's a question of,
25:48it's a question of experience.
25:51In general,
25:51in life though,
25:52it depends on your experiences.
25:54I'll be 58 in a month.
25:58I'll be 58 years old.
26:00Respect to my first Milan.
26:02Respect to when I started.
26:03I'm very,
26:04I'm completely different.
26:09Four years,
26:11my first four years
26:12with Milan
26:12and my eight with Juventus.
26:16Let's say I was,
26:17I was very lucky
26:18because four years
26:19with Milan
26:20taught me a lot.
26:22And my eight years
26:24with Juventus
26:25taught me other things,
26:26a lot,
26:27but other things.
26:30Therefore,
26:30this mix of two clubs,
26:33the two clubs,
26:34gave me a lot of experience.
26:40And I will keep that with me.
26:42I use that.
26:42But I need to,
26:45I want to add though
26:47because I don't think
26:48you ever stop learning.
26:52There's always
26:53the possibility
26:54to improve.
26:55Everyone can improve.
26:57And I think
26:58it's important to say that.
26:59You shouldn't just try
27:00and maintain your level.
27:03You improve
27:04or you get worse.
27:05You don't maintain your level.
27:07The day that you stop
27:08in improving
27:08is the day to stop.
27:10The word Scudetto,
27:17is that an obligation
27:19for you,
27:20an obsession for you,
27:21an objective
27:21for you and this team?
27:25Because Inter won
27:26the second star
27:27in the derby
27:28the season before last.
27:30And that obviously
27:33was a big disappointment
27:34for Milan.
27:35Maybe we'll chat about it
27:38at the end
27:38of the transfer market
27:39in the end of August.
27:41But can you talk about that?
27:43Say that we're aiming,
27:44to say that we're aiming
27:45for the Scudetto
27:46is something
27:48that you can say.
27:49You can write that.
27:50The press can say that.
27:51But when a season starts,
27:55if a club like,
27:56a big club like Milan
27:58have to have
27:59high objectives,
28:01then the pitch,
28:02the action on the pitch
28:03will tell us
28:04what is realistic.
28:06It's 38 matches.
28:10Every Sunday,
28:11every day,
28:12every day,
28:14you have to work hard
28:15because the matches
28:17in the Italian league
28:18are very difficult.
28:18And every Sunday,
28:19you have to play
28:21for three points
28:22to get to a certain
28:23level of points,
28:24which will put you
28:25in a good position
28:26in the table.
28:28But we can talk
28:30about this in March.
28:32Until March,
28:34you have to build
28:35the base,
28:37the foundation
28:37to be in good condition.
28:40The last two months
28:42are the most important.
28:49How have you found
28:51Zlatan Ibrahimovic,
28:52who was your player?
28:56And have you spoken
28:58to Teo Hernandez
28:59asking him
29:00to change idea?
29:02Ibrahimovic,
29:03I haven't seen him yet.
29:12We were in touch
29:13though when it was
29:13official that I was
29:14coming back.
29:16He was a player
29:17that with others
29:18gave me the Scudetto,
29:20my first Scudetto.
29:22But now he's
29:23starting a new career.
29:25He's a director,
29:26as Director Tare
29:28and Giorgio Fordlani
29:31said.
29:34He has to be
29:35an example.
29:36The professionalism
29:38of Zlatan Ibrahimovic
29:39has to be an example
29:40to all the players.
29:43Teo Hernandez
29:45has made
29:47a different choice.
29:48Teo is a great player.
29:51He's made his choice
29:52and I wish him
29:53all the best.
29:53Let's go to Francesco Bonfano.
29:55In this conference
30:00you've spoken
30:02about responsibility,
30:04professionalism,
30:05a compact group,
30:06united group.
30:07How important
30:08will it be
30:09to work on the mindset,
30:11the heads
30:12of these players?
30:13Because they appeared
30:14quite fragile last season.
30:16They didn't seem
30:17particularly determined
30:18and didn't seem able
30:19to focus
30:20on the objectives
30:22last season.
30:23and there were failures.
30:28I can't judge
30:30last season.
30:31I am only able
30:32to talk
30:33from what happens
30:34now.
30:36And we will try
30:36and get the team
30:38in great condition
30:39straight away.
30:42We have to become
30:43a team.
30:44We'll become a team.
30:45As soon as we become
30:46a team,
30:47we'll be able
30:47to have positive results.
30:50The players
30:51were attentive
30:52to me.
30:52they made themselves
30:53available
30:54and listened.
30:57And now we have
30:58to show
30:59what we can do
30:59though with the ball.
31:00That's the hardest thing.
31:02Today is the first
31:03training session
31:04and I have got faith.
31:07I repeat.
31:10What happened last season
31:11or in the years before,
31:12that it's the past?
31:15I have to take
31:17the best of last year
31:18as I've spoken
31:21to Tare
31:23and the club.
31:25We don't need
31:26a revolution.
31:27Milan doesn't
31:28require a revolution.
31:31We have to work
31:32responsibly
31:33and in order
31:35and from now
31:40until the 31st
31:41of August,
31:42director sportivo
31:43Tare
31:44will be working
31:45hard for the team.
31:45last season
31:53you watched a lot
31:55of Milan
31:55but you watched
31:56other teams.
31:57Thiago Silva
31:58said that you
32:00gave him advice
32:01for his team
32:02to beat Inter
32:02at the club
32:04World Cup.
32:05But what teams
32:06do you fear
32:07next season?
32:09Thiago Silva
32:10called me
32:11because we're
32:12in touch.
32:12We speak
32:13every now and then.
32:15He said,
32:16I said,
32:16what are you doing?
32:17Are you a director?
32:17He said,
32:18no,
32:18I'm still playing.
32:20And I said,
32:20really?
32:21And then we had
32:21a laugh.
32:23And the second
32:24question I've forgotten.
32:26Clubs I'm worried
32:27about next season.
32:29The teams
32:30that are always
32:32dangerous
32:33are Napoli.
32:37They're the
32:38favourite to win
32:39the league.
32:39When you win
32:40the league,
32:41you're normally
32:42favourite.
32:42Inter,
32:44Juventus,
32:46Atalanta,
32:48Roma,
32:49Lazio.
32:50There are normally
32:51seven or eight
32:52teams that you
32:52have to respect
32:53and to arrive
32:55in the top four
32:55is not easy.
33:02you spoke about
33:04the statistics
33:05about how to get
33:07good results,
33:08about not conceding
33:10too many goals,
33:11conceding few goals.
33:13In the last few years,
33:14Milan have had
33:15problems defending.
33:17Last season,
33:18it appeared that
33:19they started
33:19every match a goal
33:20down.
33:22At this moment,
33:23who are the
33:25fullbacks you
33:25expect to work
33:26with?
33:28Some have left,
33:29some have renewed
33:30their contracts.
33:31Tell us about
33:32the fullbacks
33:34and the central
33:35defenders as well.
33:36What do you expect
33:36from the central
33:37defenders?
33:37Would you like
33:39someone a bit
33:40younger?
33:40Are you looking
33:41for someone
33:41fresher?
33:43I'm not speaking
33:44about the transfer
33:45market because
33:45the sporting
33:46director is taking
33:49care of it and
33:49doing very well.
33:51The fullbacks,
33:52we have Jimenez
33:52who can play
33:53fullback.
33:54Davide Partezagi
33:55is a very
33:55interesting young
33:56player and we're
33:57working with them.
33:59We've got time
34:00to sort out
34:05the fullbacks,
34:06to sort
34:06everything out
34:07in central
34:08defense.
34:08We've got four
34:09central defenders
34:10with different
34:11characteristics who
34:13have got margins
34:14of improvement.
34:16Pavlovich is a
34:18player who has got
34:19good margins of
34:20improvement.
34:21Tomori, Malik
34:22Chao, Gabia is an
34:27exemplary player,
34:30an example to
34:31everyone and I'm
34:32happy with everyone
34:32we've got.
34:33a year ago it
34:45seemed like the one
34:47goal victory was
34:48out of fashion but
34:49perhaps it's changed
34:51and it's back to
34:51fashion.
34:53One goal victory or
34:54corto muso as you
34:55call it.
35:00Is it a bit of a
35:02revenge for you to
35:03come back to Milan
35:04after the way you
35:05exited your prima
35:08club or people that
35:09didn't appreciate what
35:11you did at Juventus?
35:11No, no, no, there's no
35:13revenge.
35:14I can only be positive
35:16and thank Juventus.
35:19We had eight great
35:21years together.
35:21I said before, I'm
35:24really grateful to
35:26everyone I worked with
35:27at Juventus.
35:27no revenge.
35:31The other question?
35:37Other offers I had, the
35:39most important offer was
35:41from Milan.
35:42That was the most
35:43important offer of work
35:44I had.
35:45I'm very happy and
35:46enthusiastic about being
35:48back here.
35:51Milan is a charming club
35:52that really appeals to
35:55me.
35:57You're saying that
36:07Milan need to, do you
36:12want Milan to dominate
36:14matches and to
36:15dominate the play?
36:17And I want to ask
36:18about Dusan Vlaovic.
36:22And also free kicks.
36:24Milan have struggled
36:25with free kicks in the
36:26last few years.
36:26Are you interested in a
36:27free kick taker?
36:37What's the first
36:38question?
36:40I believe football, when
36:44you have the ball, you
36:44have to attack well and
36:46score goals.
36:46When you don't have the
36:47ball, you have to defend
36:48and not concede.
36:50Simple.
36:51There's different styles of
36:52defending, different ways
36:54of attacking.
36:55But I think there are only
36:58two phases in football.
36:59When you've got the ball
37:00attack and be decisive.
37:01When you haven't got
37:02defend, don't concede.
37:04Goals.
37:04The fact that as soon as you
37:13entered the press room, there
37:16was a happy atmosphere, a
37:18cheerful atmosphere.
37:19That really struck me.
37:20That really struck me.
37:26Cheerful.
37:27Everyone was
37:28allegri, the Italian for
37:29cheerful.
37:30How important is this
37:35cheerfulness for you and in
37:38the dressing room?
37:39Do you think the players
37:40will be a bit more cheerful
37:41this year?
37:42Would you like to?
37:43I think we have to have fun
37:50with determination, winning.
37:54Have fun, winning and be
37:57determined.
37:57That's the mix.
38:00We do a great, we do a
38:02wonderful job.
38:02We have got wonderful jobs.
38:05But like all jobs, it needs
38:06to be done with passion.
38:10And this leads you to doing
38:12things and overcoming
38:16obstacles.
38:18But to do that, you need
38:20to be passionate about your
38:23job.
38:23And we have a wonderful job.
38:25We do it.
38:26We try to have fun.
38:28When I go back to Milanello
38:31in the morning, I train and
38:34we play with great passion and
38:36we realize how lucky we are
38:37to have our job.
38:42I don't really understand
38:48horse racing like you do, but
38:50you said sometimes you have to
38:53give the ball to the best player
38:55and he'll take care of business.
38:57Is that how you see Rafa Leao?
38:59We, I want the players, I want
39:11Rafa Leao to have to see the
39:15whole pitch because he's got
39:16great characteristics.
39:17Like all the other players, though,
39:23Rafa Leao for his characteristics
39:24or Ruben Loftus-Cheek for his
39:26characteristics or Samuel Erucci,
39:28Fico Tomori or Himinef.
39:32I have to put them in the best
39:34condition to show what they can
39:36do.
39:36I have to put them in the condition
39:37to show their best.
39:38The night when you left your last
39:48match with Milan against Sassuolo
39:50at the Mapei Stadium, since then
39:52you had, in your first spell, you
39:57had got Milan finished in the top
40:01three every time.
40:02With Juventus, you always arrived
40:05very high in the table.
40:10Well, what happened last season
40:11with Milan, I can't talk about
40:13that.
40:15They're just, it's just chat.
40:17Bar chat.
40:21What I can say, what I am saying,
40:23what I'm repeating is that it's a
40:26new season starting today.
40:29We have, we've got objectives,
40:32we've got targets to hit from the
40:3417th of August, the Coppa Italia,
40:36then we'll have the league.
40:39And to get the right results and
40:44to be consistent in the league,
40:46we have to work every day, work,
40:50we have to work hard.
40:54That's the only way you can be
40:57consistent in the league.
40:59A one-off match, the cup,
41:01a knockout match, a semi-final,
41:05a final, is very different to the
41:07league.
41:08It's very different to the league
41:10campaign.
41:12And I want the players to understand
41:14that.
41:14And I think everyone who works with us,
41:22the players and the tactical staff,
41:24will understand that.
41:26Because from the physios, kit men,
41:31chefs to the players, we have to be
41:35focused to hit our objectives.
41:36Max, your best result in your career
41:46wasn't the Scudetto, but it was the
41:50two Champions League finals that you
41:52reached because not many have got to
41:55two finals in three years.
41:57And you did that with Juventus.
41:59As Adriano Galliani said, even if you
42:01don't win the Champions League final,
42:03it's still important to get there.
42:06And now, some of the fans are saying
42:10with Allegri, we won't play exciting
42:13football.
42:14Are you a bit tired of criticism,
42:16people criticizing your style, saying
42:19that your style isn't very, very
42:21exciting?
42:22No, I'm not tired.
42:24I enjoy people talking about these
42:32things, analyzing my style of play.
42:35But for me, it's the result that's
42:37most important.
42:39If you win, you're a good manager.
42:44If you lose, you are...
42:51Let me give you an example.
42:52Let me give you an example.
42:55Ronaldo scored an overhead goal, overhead
42:57kick against us, Juventus at Torino.
43:00Nobody remembered the cross.
43:06Football is art.
43:09The players are artists with their feet
43:12and with their heads.
43:14And the fans at the stadium love to
43:16watch artistic moments, creative
43:18moments.
43:18But it's a team sport as well, which
43:23I agree with people to say that.
43:28But if two or three people can't pass
43:31properly, if two or three passes break
43:32down, the team, the move is a failure.
43:36So we have to put the players in
43:37position to be able to do the basics
43:39and play skillfully well.
43:41A question for Iglitare.
43:42What is a typical Albanese dessert?
43:49We've got a cake here and we would like
43:56a bit of dessert regarding the transfer
43:59market.
43:59Can you give us a treat regarding the
44:02transfer market?
44:11Regarding the cake, I agree.
44:13It's a really good Albanian cake and
44:17Albanian treat.
44:18I agree.
44:19Let's get some publicity for the
44:20trilege, the Albanian dessert.
44:23Regarding the market, I don't think it's the
44:26time to talk about transfers.
44:28It's not the time.
44:32You know that we are
44:34working on lots of players.
44:46At this moment, we have to respect
44:50other clubs.
45:04We've made offers.
45:12I hope that our negotiations will
45:15fin soon and we will be able to
45:18introduce this new player.
45:20Thank you very much for watching
45:22Massimiliano Allegri's press
45:24conference.
45:26Goodbye.
