Marco Simone urges AC Milan to fight for victory, not just top four

Former AC Milan striker Marco Simone has criticized head coach Massimiliano Allegri's cautious remarks about aiming for a top-four finish to secure a Champions League spot. Simone, who set a record in the Champions League in 1996 that remained unbroken for over 25 years, emphasized that a club like AC Milan should not limit itself to just fourth place.

«Allegri keeps repeating that “Milan” should only aim to be in the top four. Yes, last season the club finished eighth, but “Milan” is still “Milan”.

They must compete to win. No “buts” or “ifs,”» Simone said, quoted by pianetamilan.it.

Currently, AC Milan is in second place in the Serie A standings.
