"AC Milan are back at the top of Serie A, and it is largely thanks to the impact that the new head coach Massimiliano Allegri has had. As Corriere dello Sport report, Allegri has restored the united spirit and style of play that had been missing for months. The results are proving the coach right, as he returns to being the sole leader of Serie A since May 2019 , when he won the Scudetto with Juventus."
"In reality, Allegri had been preparing for the game this way since the previous Thursday, when he learned he wouldn't be able to count on other forwards. So, he left Santiago Gimenez on the bench to have a suitable substitution in the second half and brought on Leao from the start, energising and motivating the Portuguese in the best possible way. The result? A brace for Rafa and a decisive introduction for the Mexican."
"It wasn't just the two forwards; the entire team contributed to the victory against the Tuscans, even with players out of position due to numerous absences or making their first start, like Zachary Athekame. Furthermore, Allegri had only five outfield players on the bench, including two recruited from Milan Futuro. The Livorno-born coach has instilled a winning mentality in his team, and the facts prove it: Milan are solid and entertaining, but also know to react to adversity."
Massimiliano Allegri has restored unity and a coherent style of play at AC Milan, driving the team back to the top of Serie A as sole leader for the first time since May 2019. Milan are currently first without relying on Inter having a game in hand, and a win over Pisa would preserve top spot. Allegri managed absences expertly against Fiorentina, adjusting the lineup by starting Leao and benching Santiago Gimenez to provide a decisive substitution. The entire squad contributed despite players out of position and limited bench options, showing a winning mentality, solidity, entertainment value, and resilience.
