Whilst it may not feel positive for AC Milan currently, they can have faith that Massimiliano Allegri will guide them through this moment successfully.
At this moment, it is difficult to see Milan having an exciting end to the season. They are seven points clear in the Champions League places, but they have an equal gap to the current leaders, Inter. All in all, it seems that a spot in the top four may be all for the Rossoneri this season.

However, this is where games get tougher and having an experienced coach can be crucial now.
Allegri’s experience counts
As Corriere dello Sport, via MilanNews, writes, both Milanese teams have several challenges left to face, including the Derby della Madonnina, which could seal the fate of one team or allow a change in the others.
Allegri understands how to navigate this part of the season from a managerial perspective, and without competition football left to play.
The Rossoneri, therefore, will be expected to prepare for every game as if it were their last and most important of the season. Inter, on the other hand, must compete with three competitions still, and rotations must occur, and this is where vulnerabilities can arise.
Ultimately, the fate of both teams is still undecided, and both can change. It is Cristian Chivu’s first time in this position; Allegri is no stranger. Maybe the impossible may not be there just yet…
So done with this coach. In Allegri’s mind he is doing the math: ” We are 7 points back. If we get 7 more draws and Inter lose 7 times, we can catch them. We have them right where we want them.”
This 24 game unbeaten streak is the biggest joke. 9 draws in there, almost all to teams we should beat. Not impressive.
9 draws = 18 points lost. that’s the equivalent of 6 losses. Not so impressive now, is it?
It’s not losses that matter, it’s wins. Inter has 4 times as many losses and they are running away with the league.
Let’s make top 4, thank Allegri and move on to a proper coach who plays to win, rather than playing not to lose every match.
MK, my man, you must have not been around last season or during the banter years. Allegri and his game plan and structure have saved us more than hurt us. Last season we lost so many games we were “supposed” to win, with a better and deeper squad. The 24 game streak is a great/positive streak we should definitely give Allegri credit for as previous managers couldn’t put together more than 5 games without a loss. We are currently the hardest team to beat in Serie A and we are playing with no real strikers. Appreciate what we are doing because this shouldn’t be taken for granted. We have to be honest with ourselves, we are not a scudetto contender but we’re comfortably in 2nd. In reality we are overachieving with the squad we have
Concordo
O jogo contra o como tanto o jogo do 3a1 quanto o de ontem mostrou a diferença entre equipes o Milan não faz uma triangulação os jogadores não fazem 1 tabela leão fez o gol salvou a equipe mais me parece travado pesado não tem mais aquela agilidade e velocidade
“9 draws in there, almost all to teams we should beat. Not impressive.
9 draws = 18 points lost. that’s the equivalent of 6 losses. Not so impressive now, is it?”
Exactly what I’ve been saying lately. Winning matches gives you 3x more points. That’s a lot. You can also think of it this way: By winning just one single match you can earn as many points as the team drawing 3.
We lost the scudetto race because “not losing” to pisas, parmas and comos is far more important than actually trying to win those matches. Ridiculous. A midtable-team attitude.
Allegri being considered a top coach is exactly why italian football is in the gutter
Cry babies in here complaining as usual 😅👶
Massive Rossonero BUT Allegri’s style of football is so unattractive and boring. Milan offer nothing from the attacking sense in the first half of games and improve a little in the second half.
This. Allegri’s approach to every match is to keep it at 0-0 for the first 75 minutes and then hope we’ll create that one change and score. No matter if the opponent is Inter, PSG, Pisa or Cremonese.
