"Actually, no. From the start, I've said they can compete for the title: without the cups, they can only focus on the league. One thing that surprises me, though: I didn't imagine the team could reach this level of maturity so quickly. It's the thing that strikes me most: their focus. After the opening defeat against Cremonese, Allegri spoke of a lack of danger perception. I completely agreed,"
"I completely agreed, and I'd add that it also happened at AC Milan in years past: there were a series of errors in the details. Max made the problem clear and corrected it. Of course, the arrival of quality players also increases awareness. There's more protection for the defenders, who, in turn, grow and feel more confident. There's greater attention to detail. An example? Crosses are more difficult to come by, and fewer balls reach the penalty area, resulting in fewer dangers."
AC Milan performed strongest in the final 35 minutes through disciplined defending and aggressive attacking transitions. Massimiliano Allegri restored tactical balance and focus, aiming first for Champions League qualification while keeping Scudetto motivations alive. The team ranks with the league's second-best defensive record and is collecting points at an impressive rate. Rafael Leao, aided by Santiago Gimenez, produced decisive moments. Luka Modric's champion mentality is influencing teammates and Matteo Gabbia is assuming a key central role. Tactical adjustments after an early defeat reduced dangerous crosses into the box, increased defensive protection, and improved overall awareness.
