AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has played down Clarence Seedorf's criticism of predecessor Max Allegri.

Galliani was asked about Seedorf pinning the blame on Allegri for their dismal results.

"I think that the media enjoy pitting everyone against everyone else. I defended Allegri, who did well for three years, then the club - including me, as it's not true that I didn't want Seedorf - decided after 22 points in the first half of the season a change was necessary. Allegri understood that too."
