"The league table makes for very nice viewing at the moment if you are connected with AC Milan, but Massimiliano Allegri wants to keep everyone grounded. Milan are top of the standings after seven league games, having racked up 16 points through five wins and one draw. There are still 31 rounds to go, so it is very much a marathon, but the chance to go four points clear - for the time being - by beating Pisa on Friday night is a tantalising opportunity."
"As big a moment as that could be, Allegri repeated again in his pre-match press conference on the eve of the game the same messages that he has since the day that he landed for a second spell at the club. The first is rather simple: amid all the talk of a title challenge, securing fourth place and a return to the Champions League is the main target. The second: there are numerical targets in mind to achieve this first aim."
AC Milan sit top of Serie A after seven games with 16 points from five wins and one draw, with 31 rounds remaining. The team can go four points clear by beating Pisa on Friday. Massimiliano Allegri wants the squad to remain grounded and prioritises securing fourth place and Champions League qualification, targeting around 74 points. Allegri sets a defensive target of conceding no more than 20–25 goals, calls for measured progress, balance between enthusiasm and work, and a match-by-match focus starting from 0-0 to secure three points by playing a good game.
