"AC Milan have dropped too many points against teams in the bottom half, and largely because they have let in too many goals. As MilanNews write, against teams in the other half of the table, Milan have conceded 13 goals. How many goals have they conceded so far this season in general? 15. Therefore, against the top ten teams in the table, they've conceded just two (against Napoli and Atalanta, one being a penalty)."
"Why do the Rossoneri concede so many goals against lesser teams? It's undoubtedly primarily a mental issue, because the team enter the field with a bit less concentration. A lot of the goals could have been avoided with a bit more focus. There's also a tactical issue: it's undeniable that Milan are better at counter-attacking, while when they have to dominate the game, they sometimes leave too much space for opponents to hurt them in transition."
"On Sunday we played in Florence, and after a golden quarter, we should have had three goals through Pulisic. If you score, the approach is right, but if you don't... Everything depends on the result. Against Roma at home, we had a terrifying half-hour, then we took the lead, and in the second half we had four or five chances... that's football. Then there are unexpected events, and you have to manage them. But every game is different."
AC Milan have conceded 15 goals so far this season, with 13 coming against bottom-half opponents and just two against top-ten teams (one a penalty). The higher number of goals conceded to lesser teams is attributed primarily to lapses in concentration and mental approach, which allow avoidable goals. A tactical imbalance also contributes: the team excels on the counter-attack but can leave dangerous spaces when required to dominate possession, making them vulnerable to transitions. Match outcomes and in-game events shape perceptions, and the team has shown both recoveries and setbacks across fixtures.
