AC Milan will travel to Lecce for the second round of the 2025/26 Serie A season. Allegri stated at a press conference that the team must bounce back from the defeat and redeem themselves.

In the first game of this season, AC Milan fell behind but relied on Pavlovic to score, but eventually lost to Cremona 1-2 at home.

AC Milan coach Allegri said in an interview, "It was an unexpected defeat and we hope to complete redemption as soon as possible. We created several opportunities in that game and it is possible to win. In the next game against Lecce, we will have a chance to regroup, and they are a fast and organized team."

"We will find a way in attack, we have Santiago Gimenez and some options on the bench. The most important thing is to face the game in the right way and with respect. The opponent has gone through a relegation test, which gives them motivation, and they also got a point against Genoa before."

When talking about the players' performance, Allegri said, "Santiago Gimenez is an excellent player who has scored many goals for Feyenoord. I have worked with him for 20 days and we have high expectations for him. We need to train hard every day and observe the growth of this team, especially the progress of individual players. The team has introduced some young players with great potential. We must work hard to improve on last season's results. We have six months to achieve this goal."

"Ardan Yashari is a very strong player with great potential, but unfortunately he was injured in a small team match and will not be able to play tomorrow. He can play as a defensive midfielder or in a double defensive midfielder system as a midfielder. As for who will appear in the defense, I am not sure yet. We analyzed the goals we conceded and found that we could have done better. These mistakes are inevitable, but they were our only mistakes."

In addition, Allegri also said, "Football is not explained, but played. We lost the ball from two crosses, but the position was correct. In the Italian Cup against Bari, we allowed the opponent to have several shots, and Maignan made two key saves, but winning does not mean there are no mistakes. In the previous games in Perth, Dublin and London, we also gave the opponent opportunities in certain situations, which needs to be improved."

"After watching the Coppa Italia match, we saw that we had to pay more attention to some details, from Maignan's save and the two dangerous situations in the second half. For example, against Cremona, we did a good job on the counterattack and defended well, but we made mistakes in conceding two goals. Our plan is to keep a clean sheet, especially after taking a bigger risk against Bari."
