Massimiliano Allegri insisted: “This is just the beginning” for AC Milan, after they had moved Napoli on the Summit Serie with a 2-1 victory in San Siro.
The Rossoneri prevailed in their blockbuster confrontation with the ruling Scudetto holders, with the first half of Alexis Saelemaekers and Christian Pulisic.
Milan took their fourth consecutive victory to use the partenopei through their head-to-head record.
However, at the end they held up after they were forced to play with 10 men in the last half hour, according to the red card of Pervis Estupinan for an error on Giovanni di Lorenzo who led to a penalty, from which Kevin De Bruyne raised the shortage.
Allegri greeted the spirit that is demonstrated by his players, but is non -free that more of them will come.
“I am happy because this was an important and very difficult test against a quality of Napoli,” he told Dazn Italia.
“Our first half was great, the second unfortunately saw us up to 10 men. At least we managed to practice our defense. These are situations in which you can be forced to give away scoring opportunities.

“The boys were doing really well, but this is just the beginning. We have to enjoy the victory tonight and start concentrating from tomorrow on the next game before the break for international service.
“We have to keep working. Today we have taken a small step forward with a deserved victory against a strong Napoli. If you know how to suffer, it makes it easier to win if you have this kind of mind.”
Again, Luka Modric played a leading role for the hosts in the middle of the park. The former Ballon d’Or Winner’s Tallies or 72 Touches and 58 passes were the highest by every Milan player, while he also registered a game-high four interceptions.
“Having him brings quality for the defense, but also intelligence in closing of channels,” Allegri added, greeting the 40-year-old.
“He can win the ball more with interceptions than challenges, there he can be extremely valuable.”
