"A lot, because Massimiliano Allegri will always have the week off to focus his players on a single objective, having also been eliminated from the Coppa Italia. In the first part of the season, Milan had a few slumps in concentration against smaller teams, but I expect Max, taking advantage of the 'lighter' schedule compared to their rivals, to fix things."
"And you can do this if you have plenty of time to prepare not only tactically, but above all psychologically for each match. There's another aspect not to be underestimated: cup competitions, in addition to the physical and especially mental energy, sometimes sap your enthusiasm. A bad result or elimination, for example, can also generate negative consequences on the league campaign, because they make the whole atmosphere more burdensome."
AC Milan sit second in Serie A, one point behind Inter, and benefit from no European or domestic cup engagements. Massimiliano Allegri has improved results, offering a clearer path for a title challenge thanks to lighter scheduling that allows tactical and psychological preparation. Early-season lapses against smaller sides need fixing, and consistent weekly preparation can address concentration issues. Cup competitions can drain physical and mental energy and a negative cup result can harm league momentum and atmosphere. Milan's attack leans heavily on Christian Pulisic, while other title contenders include Inter's Lautaro, Napoli's Hojlund, Roma's Soulé and Juventus' Yildiz.
