"AC Milan's unbeaten run has now stretched to 22 games, and the comparison with one year ago is a stark one. As La Gazzetta dello Sport write this morning, certain images have become quite familiar to fans: the team celebrating goals in front of the supporters, Massimiliano Allegri heading straight for the tunnel with a smile (often after shouting), and Player of the Match awards going to those in a Milan shirt."
"On Tuesday night, after a convincing 3-0 win over Bologna, Allegri and the players were the first to appear for their post-match interviews, and then they immediately headed back to Milano to resume their weekly schedule. Yesterday was a day of light training, then there will be three days of rest. On Friday 13th, the team will restart their league campaign with yet another away game - in Pisa - the third consecutive and the sixth in the last eight matches."
"The run can be extended and is the true basis of the team's strength. Milan, with 14 wins and 8 draws, have remained unbeaten for at least 22 consecutive games in a single Serie A season for the first time since 1992-93, then a streak of 23 matches under Fabio Capello. That was a Milan equipped to win in Italy (in an 18-team league) and in Europe, unlike the current one, which is still under reconstruction."
AC Milan's unbeaten run has reached 22 games, markedly stronger than a year earlier. Celebrations in front of supporters and Massimiliano Allegri's smiling tunnel exits have become familiar. After a 3-0 win over Bologna, players completed post-match interviews and returned immediately to Milan for scheduling; light training followed and three days of rest. The next league match is away at Pisa on Friday 13th, the third consecutive away fixture. Milan are unbeaten in their first 12 away league games with seven wins and five draws. The squad has 14 wins and eight draws overall and has conceded 17 goals in 23 games, an average of 0.7 per 90 minutes.
