In the third round of Serie A held early this morning, Milan defeated Bologna 1-0 at home. Milan coach Allegri attended the post-match press conference.

Did Milan's performance in this game meet your expectations?

If we want to make the top four in Serie A, we have to score more goals. We created a lot of opportunities and played a very good game. Even when Bologna took control of the ball, we maintained a good defensive order without any threat. We are growing and the players are very involved. Winning the game is important, but we cannot be complacent.

Modric scored the winning goal, what do you think of him?

Modric is a top player and he is excellent in all aspects. And Modric is humble and always strives to serve the team. We are very happy to have him, both as coaches and teammates. He always wants to improve and never complacent, it's really great.

We saw you take off your coat on the sidelines and protest, why is that?

I have no special thoughts, nor have I watched the video replay. If VAR referee Fabry decides to cancel that penalty, then the decision is correct.

In yesterday's Serie A, Juventus defeated Inter Milan 4-3 at home, and today Milan won 1-0. Which kind of victory do you prefer?

I prefer Milan's victory. But this is not because of statistics. Some games will be played like this, and some will be played like this. When Bologna attacked, we kept the defensive formation compact. But we cannot be too excited about this victory, we must do it step by step.

Milan South Pool fans are protesting, so they did not go to San Siro to support the team at home. We hope that the fans can return to the stadium as soon as possible. They are a huge help to the whole team.

After this round of Serie A, Milan has already led Inter Milan in the standings. This is only the third round of the league. The league will gradually widen the gap after the national team match day in October.

How would you use S-Jimenez?

He acted like a team player, but he seemed a little tired when touching the ball in the last kick, not sober and calm enough. But he has to be patient and he can score goals. I think this is the best game he has played since I coached the team.
