AC Milan kept their Serie A title hopes alive with a narrow 3-2 victory over Torino, prompting manager Massimiliano Allegri to praise the development of goalscorer Strahinja Pavlovic and the resilience of his squad.
Massimiliano Allegri hailed AC Milan’s character following a vital 3-2 win against Torino at the San Siro.
Despite recent setbacks against Parma and Lazio, the Rossoneri secured three points to maintain pressure on league leaders Inter.
Allegri singled out defender Strahinja Pavlovic for his significant growth and spectacular long-range goal, stating, “He played a great match tonight, he has improved a lot.”
The manager also defended striker Niklas Fullkrug’s performance, noting that a lack of consistent minutes has affected the German’s physical rhythm.
Tactically, Allegri credited Christian Pulisic’s introduction for breaking down Torino’s compact defense.
Reflecting on his animated touchline behavior, Allegri joked about his exchange with the referee: “I am getting on in years and I would not want my heart to give out.”
