On Sunday night, AC Milan got to their 20th unbeaten game in a row, thanks to the work of some substitutions made by Massimiliano Allegri.
There can be plenty said about Milan this season, but it is undeniable that they are in a much better position than they have been in recent years. Even if it is a difficult feat, they are still in the Scudetto race.
However, what will make Allegri smile is the fact that they are seven points clear of fifth place, which gives them a lot of leeway in the Champions League race.
Costacurta’s realisation
Last night, Niclas Fullkrug was the difference maker, scoring with his first proper touch, and it was the sixth goal that the Rossoneri have scored from a substitute this season, and this trend of changes and goals is worth noting.
After the game, Billy Costacurta took a look at what gives the Diavolo the edge, and his words to Sky have been relayed by MilanNews.
“Great saves by Falcone, but I believe that after that they entered the area that I now call “Max Allegri’s area”, because to our microphones after the Cagliari match he told us just like that. “I believe that at a certain point, the opposing team runs like us up to a certain point, but then gives in because we are physically stronger”.
“So much so that it is true that in the last 5 games, he only scored once in the first half; he has always been in the second half.
“They always took the lead in the second half. And so this strategy of Max, in a way, I think it works.”
Alegri is everything a bad tactics.put Leao and Pulisic together is bad for the game.
You can’t criticize a coach who has taken us to a level we haven’t reached in a long time. He deserves patience, not harsh criticism. He is a great coach, and his tactics are delivering results. Forza Milan
Personaly i believe if alegri keeps this and keeps his game managments and tweekings in the game then we are able to win the scudeto. Fullkrug will start scoring and providing to the others.
i just fear if he gets injured then we will not have that option and we will strugle as recently seen against low block teams.
Well… Füllkrug IS injured already as he has a broken toe but he can’t be bothered with such small issues. 🙂
