Milan, April 22 (IANS): AC Milan manager Massimiliano Allegri said that his team must not feel pressure after Fiorentina closed the gap to them to just one point.

The Rossoneri suffered a 0-1 defeat at the hands of Juventus, their first one of 2013, and remained third in the standings, with only one point clear of Fiorentina, reports Xinhua.

“The lads put in a good performance, allowing little and controlling the ball,” Allegri said of the game with Juventus Sunday.

“We conceded on a penalty, but have to stay calm and pick up as many points as possible to maintain our advantage. We must not feel pressure looking at other results, as we already know that we have to pick up points regardless of what the other teams do,” he said.
