"Tomorrow, AC Milan will begin their quest to retain the Supercoppa Italiana, which they won less than 12 months ago against Inter. A fate which may await them again. Looking too far into the future is a threat in itself, and one that Massimiliano Allegri is always keen to avoid. The Italian has regularly enforced the mindset that the next game is always the most important to win."
"He must balance the midfield, which has looked a little leggy recently. Luka Modric probably needs a break, whilst Adrien Rabiot suffered a small knock at the weekend and never looked too comfortable after. However, the big focus will be on Christopher Nkunku, who may already be on his final chance. If the Frenchman impresses, he can return from Saudi Arabia with the knowledge that he has another striker to call upon."
AC Milan start their Supercoppa Italiana defense against Napoli, seeking progression toward potential matches with Bologna or Inter. Prize money would aid the January mercato, but squad balance is a greater priority. Midfield fatigue is evident: Luka Modric likely needs rest and Adrien Rabiot carried a knock that affected his performance. Christopher Nkunku faces a decisive opportunity to secure a striking option for the Saudi trip. Winning the trophy would strengthen Serie A title hopes, send a message to rivals, and provide a favorable fixture run. The next month or two could be decisive for Scudetto prospects if Milan overcome both big and small opponents.
