Massimiliano Allegri talked to the press today ahead of the Olympiacos clash:
“We have to remain serene, without being overwhelmed by what is written. It will be an important test. We’ll have to play well and be very intense: winning is mandatory. We’ll see the conditions of Asamoah and Ogbonna, I’ll choose the lineup based on their conditions.
Padoin can play as LWB: he’s technically and tactically reliable. We’ll have to make a different game compared to the Athens one, especially from the technical standpoint. We must not be anxious or be in a hurry. We’ll have to take advantage of the time we have at our disposal to bring home the result we’re interested in. It’s impossible to indicate who will play, we have yet to practice.
Morata or Llorente? I’ll decide tomorrow morning. It’s important to win. If the team improves a lot in the second half, it means that it’s healthy. It’s important to increase the rhythm progressively, especially when the opponents start to be tired. There’s not an European complex. We have to conquer three points and fix this situation.”
