MASSIMILIANO ALLEGRI
"This victory was well-earned, it's never easy to play in Bergamo. What didn't I like? After a good start we lost far too many balls, and we gave Atalanta too many opportunities thereafter. Pogba? Today he did even better, he’s getting more playing time, it's normal that he still has to improve, but it's important that between now and the end of the championship his playing time continues to increase. The growth of Iling-Junior? It took him some time to get back, but I've been seeing him doing well for 15 days, so I thought this was the right match for him, he's a bit more of an imaginative player than Kostic. The race for Champions League qualification? After yesterday's results, the Champions League points target has risen, at the moment it is at 74 points. Atalanta are a strong team, they are a physical team, but we defended well against them."
