Allegri can sense pressure lifting at AC Milan

AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri feels the pressure is lifting.

The Rossoneri ended their dire run with two consecutive victories against Celtic and Catania, but Allegri is keeping his feet on the ground.

"Could we go for third place? It is very difficult to talk about that now and we have to take it one step at a time. Don't forget a week ago people thought we were dead and buried. Now some claim we have resolved all our problems.

"So far we have not qualified for the Champions League knockouts and are still way behind in Serie A, so let's keep our heads down and try to give a sense of consistency to these results."

On the influence of Kaka, Allegri added: "When Kaka arrived he gave the impression of being able to do great things. His fitness levels can still improve, but he is important both on the pitch and in the locker room. When a Coach has someone like Kaka in his squad, he can consider himself fortunate."
