"The Derby della Madonnina will be an interesting one. It arrives just a few weeks after AC Milan and Inter bought San Siro. So, it will be a historical game. A lot of the recent talk about Milan and Inter has been peaceful, about the two clubs working together. However, with the Derby round the corner, the tide could quickly turn, with both sides desperate for points."
"So far, the Rossoneri lead the league for passes completed. Of the 5,468 that they have attempted, 4,834 have been successful. A precise team, where 85.6% of their passes reach their destination. However, that precision extends. The players are more calculated, in every manner, and the role model is Luka Modric. With 762 passes this season, he has made the most passes of anyone in Serie A, maintaining a high completion rate (90.8%)."
"Massimiliano Allegri is also the coach who has made the fewest changes in the league. In 11 games, he has only made 39 substitutes, averaging just more than 3.5 subs per game. Without European football, the need to rotate is far lower. Then, the Italian trusts his starters, rarely seeing a need to make changes to the game. That is also proven in the fact that his squad is small,"
Derby della Madonnina arrives weeks after AC Milan and Inter jointly acquired San Siro, adding historical significance. A Nerazzurri victory would extend Inter’s lead to five points, while a Rossoneri win would put Milan top. Cooperative relations between the clubs have given way to renewed competitive intensity as both teams need points. Milan lead Serie A in pass completion, completing 4,834 of 5,468 attempts (85.6%). Luka Modric has made 762 passes with a 90.8% completion rate. Matteo Gabbia and Samuele Ricci have also excelled. Milan press less and play more methodically. Massimiliano Allegri has made only 39 substitutions in 11 games, reflecting limited squad depth and fewer rotations without European fixtures.
