Allegri: There's still a long way to go

Let's start with a quote from Coach Massimiliano Allegri, which he said at the pre-Inter-Juve press conference on the eve of Sunday's Derby d'Italia:

Run, a lot.

If the reverse fixture was a tactical match, tomorrow Coach Allegri expects a different game altogether, and for this reason he wants, above all, the boys to enjoy the evening, and to have fun on the pitch.

"Playing a match like this, in this ranking situation on the table, is a reward for these guys, who are wonderful and form a cohesive group. There's always a lot of talk about evenings like these, but what they will have to do is go out on the pitch, have as much fun as possible, knowing that we are up against the favourites for the Scudetto, but also being aware of the fact that we're doing very well. Tomorrow there's a lot to do, but not just tomorrow, because there's still a long way to go until the end of the championship."

OBJECTIVES

"Tomorrow it is obvious that we go to San Siro to try to get a result. Then we will see at the end of the game what has happened: we must always look at ourselves, our objectives and a journey that still has a long way to go. At least 20 points are needed to reach the Champions League quota, so tomorrow will not be a decisive evening, but undoubtedly an important step on our path."

TEAM NEWS

"We're all fine, we're all going to Milan, including the two new guys. Carlos Alcaraz is proving to be very eager to make himself available and learn, we're inserting Tiago Djaló more slowly as he is coming off an injury. Moise Kean? I told him to recover quickly, he will be an important resource for us over the second half of the season. Federico Chiesa never lacks commitment and seriousness, his way of playing can create some problems regarding his injury, but it is something he must learn to live with, time will help him."
