Allegri: defeat to Lazio good for Milan

 　　ROME, Feb. 1 (Xinhua) -- AC Milan head coach Massimiliano Allegri saw a blessing¹ in disguise² after his side lost to Lazio 2- 0 on Wednesday, saying "a terrible game, but the defeat to Lazio can do us good."

　　The Rossoneri could've gone top after Juve's match with Parma was snowed off last night, but they fell 2-0 at the Olimpico instead.

　　"We played a terrible game against a team that did not allow us much, but this is not giving the all-clear to Juventus," Allegri was quoted as saying by football-italia.net.

　　"The campaign is still long and there will be time to discuss these things. I believe the defeat can do us good and help us to grow.

　　"Lately, despite winning, we haven't had the same grit³ that we need to win the Scudetto. This is why I believe the defeat can be healthy," he said.
