"Now, under the guidance of Massimiliano Allegri, the Rossoneri are second in the table and just one point off top spot. There is still plenty to improve on, such as the record against the lower-ranking sides in the league, but the head-to-head record against top four rivals has been brilliant."
"Milan dropped seven points at home to the newly-promoted teams. Now another team from the relegation zone arrives. What does a coach do in these situations? "Let's start from one assumption: these things can't be trained, it's just a question of mentality. You need to find a leader who can help you motivate the team and bring out what your teammates have.""
"Not even a couple of strong pre-match messages? "If anything, we shout during the match, at the first mistakes or bad choices." Milan made several bad choices in Riyadh... "Yes, the latest Milan team needs to reset, and if they concede so many goals, they can't even beat teams they should. Let's analyse it. They're missing a centre-forward: too often there hasn't been any threat up front."
Fabio Capello warned that a top-four finish for AC Milan is not guaranteed and that the Supercoppa Italiana exit is worrying. Milan have improved since last year, when Paulo Fonseca was sacked and Sergio Conceicao was briefly linked as a replacement, and now Massimiliano Allegri's side sit second and one point off the top. The team performs well against top rivals but drops points to lower-ranked opponents, has conceded too many goals, and often lacks a real centre-forward threat. Capello emphasized mentality, the need for a motivating leader, and an urgent reset after poor choices in Riyadh.
