Buffon: Since coach Allegri took over, Milan has become a strong contender for the Serie A title

November 7 Buffon praised Milan coach Allegri when he appeared on a podcast.

Milan defeated Roma 1-0 in the last round of Serie A. After the game, Allegri said, "In the first 35 minutes of the game, Roma's performance definitely deserved to take the lead." Buffon said: "Can you tell me how many people are as honest as him and would say at the post-match press conference that Roma was in the lead? He should have scored and taken the lead in the first half hour of the game. You almost never hear coaches say this. From this point of view, he is blameless."

Buffon continued: "From the 35th to the 60th minute of that game, Milan could have expanded the score to 4-0. This game is different from their previous game against Pisa. After Milan scored the first goal, they were trying to find the second goal."

Buffon finally said: "Whether you like it or not, Allegri does bring a sense of identity to the team, because everyone can see Allegri's. The team is always organized and concedes very few goals, always maintaining balance. It must be admitted that since his arrival, Milan has looked like a strong contender for the Serie A championship. This is not only because of the work he has done on the field, but also because the team has no problems off the field."
