"Massimiliano Allegri has been on the receiving end of criticism this season for his 'Corto Muso' approach to AC Milan's game, but as the numbers show, the situation is overwhelmingly positive. Just in the last 5-10 years, football has changed a lot and entertainment has become a keyword, with more teams and managers adapting 'fun' playing styles and tactics. In a world like that, it's no wonder that Allegri stands out, but that doesn't mean he isn't successful."
"Cesc Fabregas with his possession-focused football on one side, Massimiliano Allegri with his 'Corto Muso' on the other. Fabregas is heavily inspired by tiki-taka, i.e. frenetic possession and constant runs. They had 67.6% possession in the game, created numerous chances and yet, they only found the back of the net once. With their 32.4%, meanwhile, Allegri and Milan scored three goals to clinch the win."
Massimiliano Allegri's Corto Muso approach has yielded strong results for AC Milan despite criticism. Milan recovered quickly after an opening defeat and are unbeaten in 19 consecutive Serie A matches, a run not seen since early 2004. The team has amassed 12 wins, seven draws and one defeat in the first 20 games, joining two historical Milan sides that lost only once in that span. Milan have the second-best attack with 33 goals, demonstrating offensive quality beyond reactive tactics. A match vs Como illustrated contrasting philosophies: heavy possession from Cesc Fabregas' side produced few goals, while Allegri's 32.4% possession yielded three.
