MILAN, Oct. 27 (Xinhua) -- AC Milan head coach Massimiliano Allegri claimed he was never worried about his job before his side beat Genoa 1-0 in the Italian Serie A on Saturday and all his side needed is goals that could bring belif and confidence.

The Rossoneri ended their three-loss streak with the win at San Siro thanks to a late Stephan El Shaarawy strike. It had been reported Allegri was facing the axe if he failed to win this game.

"I was very relaxed because the team had always put in strong performances. We just needed to find some belief and confidence, especially in front of goal," he said.

"With goals everything becomes easier. I experienced a similar situation when I was at Cagliari," he said.

"It was a deserved victory and I think so far the criticism has been harsh considering what the lads did on the field," the coach added.
