The only goal of the game came 10 minutes from time as Mattia Zaccagni rose to head in a corner unopposed.<\/p>\n<p>The Rossoneri had produced the better of the chances up until that point, with Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Rafael Leao spurning opportunities. The cup curse in the capital continues though after the defeat in the final to Bologna a few months ago, and Lazio get some revenge for the league loss.<\/p>\n<p>Allegri\u2019s reaction<\/p>\n<p>Allegri spoke to SportMediaset after the full-time whistle to give his assessments on what was a bitter night for his side, with his comments relayed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.milannews.it\/primo-piano\/allegri-a-sportmediaset-non-bisogna-deprimersi-e-successo-come-con-cremonese-e-pisa-diventiamo-pericolosi-599504\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MilanNews<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Did Lazio want the victory more?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe winner is always right. Lazio won a match in which they had more difficulties than on Saturday. It was a stalemated game, and whoever scored first won: we had a chance and didn\u2019t score, then we didn\u2019t defend well on the corner<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJashari had a good game after a long time, Ricci had a good game. It\u2019s disappointing to be eliminated because we were keen, but now we have to put everything aside and focus on Torino.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"762\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/SnapInsta.to_588625630_18550723213018468_3843632571985352565_n.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-318473 has-webp\" alt=\"Milan players before Lazio game\"   style=\"aspect-ratio:1200\/762;max-width:1200px\"\/>Photo by AC Milan<\/p>\n<p>Is it a step backwards?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo. We should be angry: when we lose and are eliminated, we should be disappointed. On the other hand, we have to look ahead; there\u2019s Torino and Sassuolo before the Supercoppa Italiana in Saudi Arabia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What do you complain about more: missed chances or goals conceded?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe could have defended better on the goal. We were in control of the game and missed three or four easy chances: we gave away a free-kick, a corner, and then conceded. It happened against Cremonese and Pisa: it becomes dangerous and we need to improve\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What do you ask of Leao as a striker?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe had a good chance again tonight, he moved well in and around the box: when he\u2019s not there, he has to be occupied with other players. He played a good match and made himself available to the team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe shouldn\u2019t get depressed because we have a whole season ahead of us and the goal is to play in the Champions League next year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#13;<br \/>\n\t&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Have you asked for a striker in January?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have Pulisic and Leao, who have scored 10 goals between them: we need our midfielders to score more goals from set pieces. Gimenez still has to return.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Are you superstitious? Napoli also lost to Lazio in the Coppa Italia round of 16\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, I can feel the negative people immediately. It\u2019s still a long way off\u2026 Do you know how many times Milan have won in Turin in the last twelve years? Just the year of COVID. We\u2019ll face a very difficult match, let\u2019s try to prepare well.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Massimiliano Allegri adopted a glass half full approach after AC Milan were beaten in the Coppa Italia by&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":331567,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-331566","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-soccer","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/331566","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=331566"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/331566\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/331567"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=331566"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=331566"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=331566"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
