During a pre-match press conference held on Thursday preceding an upcoming Serie A match against Lazio, Milan coach Stefano Pioli made a lighthearted remark concerning Massimiliano Allegri, his counterpart at Juventus.
Acknowledging the considerable lead Inter currently holds in the Serie A standings, with a 12-point advantage over Juventus and a 16-point differential with Milan, Pioli conceded the apparent conclusion of the Serie A title race.
Nevertheless, when prompted to estimate the requisite points for Milan to secure a top-four finish, Pioli quipped, “Allegri is adept at such prognostications. I believe he mentioned 70 points as necessary, indicating there remains a considerable distance for us to traverse.”
“We only think about Lazio. We do not need to rest somebody before Thursday’s game.”
