Allegri urges ´calmness´ after Perth thrashing in pre-season

Massimiliano Allegri has called for “calmness and balance” after AC Milan thrashed Perth Glory 9-0 in pre-season.

Filippo Terracciano opened the scoring after three minutes before a brace from Noah Okafor and goals from Christian Comotto and Samuel Chukwueze saw Milan lead 5-0 at half-time.

Rafael Leao came on at half-time to get a double of his own while Samuele Ricci and Yunus Musah completed the scoring at HBF Park in Australia, almost doubling their expected goals (xG) tally of 4.81.

Allegri’s side have now defeated Liverpool and Perth in their pre-season campaign, which sees them travel to the Republic of Ireland next to face Leeds United before a trip to London to play Club World Cup champions Chelsea.
