'Better to play in Italy' - Allegri takes sides in Milan-Como Australia game debate
"There have been several parties to condemn the decision to play AC Milan vs. Como in Australia."
"When the idea of a Serie A game abroad was first introduced, many didn't like it. So, when these plans started to become more concrete, with relevant parties supporting them, there has been only greater fear voiced about them."
"I'll say one thing, the important thing is that a decision is made as soon as possible. It would be better to play in Italy, but if we have to go to Perth, we will go to Perth."
AC Milan's Serie A fixture against Como looks set to take place in Perth, Australia after UEFA gave approval. The proposal to stage a Serie A match abroad encountered early resistance and intensified as plans became more concrete and received support. Several Milan figures, including Adrien Rabiot, captain Mike Maignan, and coach Massimiliano Allegri, publicly opposed holding the game overseas. Allegri stressed the need for a prompt decision and expressed a preference to play in Italy while saying the team would travel to Perth if required. Continued opposition may increase pressure on the authorities to reconsider.
