"Most people would have laughed if you told them that the same AC Milan defence from last season would now be the backbone of a title charge. Yet, this is the case. Milan have transformed since the summer, but there is very little difference in the defence. In fact, the area has been trimmed, rather than being expanded, so the fact that they are performing to this level is even more impressive."
"However, it is very clearly thanks to the work of one man, Massimiliano Allegri. Allegri's men together As MilanNews writes, the squad as a whole has improved since the Italian's arrival, but it is the defence where his impact can really be seen. Of course, this is where Allegri is best known for, but still, the results are beyond expectations."
"After half of the season, the Rossoneri boast one of the best defences in Italy, conceding only 13 goals in 17 games. With this, there is a feeling that the Diavolo have found some balance at the back. Maybe less spectacular, as the report suggests, but more concrete. Houses are built on strong foundations, and Milan are built on a backbone that struggled together, but can now rely on one another."
Milan's defence remains largely the same as last season, yet it now functions as the team's defensive backbone. The defensive unit has been trimmed rather than expanded and has improved markedly under Massimiliano Allegri. After half the season, Milan conceded only 13 goals in 17 games and recorded nine clean sheets. Goalkeeper Mike Maignan has returned to top form and Fikayo Tomori has improved, while Matteo Gabbia and Strahinja Pavlovic have established themselves among the league's better defenders. The group shows greater balance and cohesion, with Allegri's tactical work and trust restoring confidence and defensive solidity.
