Instead, Allegri <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportmediaset.mediaset.it\/calcio\/coppa-italia\/milan-bari-allegri-intervista_102258462-202502k.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">spoke to Mediaset<\/a> \u2013 the channel which owns the Coppa Italia broadcasting rights in Italy \u2013 and previewed the clash.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to highlighting Bari\u2019s strengths, the head coach also praised the Milan fans for turning up in numbers tomorrow. It might not be an electric atmosphere, <a href=\"https:\/\/sempremilan.com\/curva-sud-not-cheer-milan-bari-regime\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">as alluded to by Curva Sud\u2019s statement<\/a>, but it\u2019s still an important boost<\/p>\n<p>On kicking off the season\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s great enthusiasm, and we thank all the fans who will be at the stadium tomorrow. We should be good at playing a responsible, orderly, and technically demanding game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Bari\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe should have great respect, it\u2019s an organised team with a good coach: he\u2019s done a good job preparing them. Tomorrow\u2019s victory is what counts, we must try to move forward to reach the finals in May.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"724\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/LiverpoolMilan-44.jpg\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-305808 has-webp\" alt=\"Massimiliano Allegri Milan\"  data- style=\"aspect-ratio:1200\/724;max-width:1200px\"\/>Photo by AC Milan<\/p>\n<p>On Coppa Italia\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s one of our three objectives and it\u2019s a very important match for us on a mental level. It\u2019s a step forward we must take. The season will be played over 38 games and we will need to maintain a great balance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the mercato\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that Milan, the club, has worked very well. Tare has worked very well. The new players have integrated very well and there is a good spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Allegri won\u2019t be on the bench tomorrow, it should be noted, as he\u2019s serving a two-game ban in the competition.
