Seedorf again blames Allegri for AC Milan crisis

AC Milan coach Clarence Seedorf has again blamed Massimiliano Allegri's management after defeat to Parma.

Seedorf hinted that Allegri's tenure was behind the current problems, something he already said after the defeats to Juventus and Atletico Madrid.

"I will defend these colours right to the end. All problems that have come before and the journey to get us to this point is the past, so we must look forward and find a way to fix the problems. There's no point finding a scapegoat.

"It requires more focus and concentration, as we pay a heavy price for every mistake and that's what happens when a team is in a negative spiral.

"I continue to believe we will change the situation, get the best out of the players for the rest of the season and form a competitive side for next year."

Considering the references to Allegri, Seedorf was asked whether he ought to be more humble and self-critical.

"I think my humility is in the hard work I do every day. I don't see that I've done or said anything arrogant. In my view I'm pretty objective.

"I know that I have much to learn and have just started my coaching career, but I've also worked in this world for over 20 years and I know what the players are going through.

"I accept everyone's opinions, as long as they are constructive. We admitted Atletico Madrid were stronger, so how was that not humble?"
