AC Milan icon Arrigo Sacchi insists he's a big fan of Massimiliano Allegri.
Sacchi denies criticising Allegri's tactics.
"I have nothing against Allegri, for whom I have great respect," Sacchi told the Corriere dello Sport. "He is a great Coach and a great person.
"I was also one of the first to speak well about him with regards to how he has worked at Milan. I therefore fall from the clouds when I hear that I was the one he was aiming his criticism at.
"I don't understand the interpretations of certain situations. I repeat - I consider Allegri to be an excellent Coach and an excellent guy."
