Gabia: Allegri makes Milan s defense progress and discusses the season s goals in March next year

Milan defender Gabia was interviewed by the media when attending the Milan Gentleman Awards ceremony this week.

Milan will change coach this summer, and invite Allegri, who pays more attention to defense, to coach. Gabiya first said: "Our defense is not only on the defender, but the entire team is working hard for it. When the team concedes the ball, it is normal to pay attention to the defender. But Coach Allegri will explain how important the whole process caused the ball to be lost. He motivated us in training and we saw some improvement."

Milan lost 1-2 to the promoted champion Cremonese in the first round of the season, but Milan defeated Lecce 2-0 away in the second round of the league. Gabiya continued: "We are very clear that the first round of the league did not go as we expected. But we then responded well and did not get affected by too many negative emotions."

This summer, Milan introduced several new players, and many players left the team. Gabiya said: "The club has made a choice and now we have a different atmosphere at the training base. But I also want to thank those who have left. Although last season was not a positive season, the responsibility should be shared by everyone."

Milan also signed forward Nkunku from Chelsea at the end of this summer's transfer period, and his transfer fee reached 37 million euros plus a 5 million euro bonus. In this regard, Gabiya believes: "The club is able to sign such a talented player and have a very good job. We will enjoy his performance on the court, and I am deeply impressed by his attitude towards work so far."

Milan did not qualify for European competition this season, just participate in the Serie A and the Italian Cup. Finally, the media asked Milan what the goal of this season is, and Gabiya replied: "I will not talk about the goals of this season now, whether it is Champions League qualification or other goals. We must work hard to win games after game, and wait until next March to see what we can achieve."
