Allegri not surprised to see Roma in Serie A top four race under Gasperini
It has come as no surprise to AC Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri to see Roma in the hunt for a top-four finish in Serie A under the guidance of Gian Piero Gasperini.
Roma host Milan on Sunday, with just four points separating the two sides, who are fourth and second respectively.
Allegri's side will also be hoping to close the gap to league leaders Inter, despite the Italian coach constantly reiterating that the Rossoneri are not in a fight for the Scudetto.
Roma have won their last three league games, while Milan are unbeaten since the opening day, and Allegri is anticipating a great battle between the two sides.
"Roma is not a surprise, I knew we’d see them up there with Gasperini," said Allegri.
"We're looking at four teams competing for three places. I discount Inter. They're doing very well and have a projection of 90 points.
"We hope that we [Italy] might get five teams in the Champions League, otherwise one gets left out.
"This will be a good game against a team that is fighting against us for a spot in the top four.
"Gasperini is doing a great job. The formation is typical of the coach: They're very good in the offensive phase as well as in defence."
