Nine games in eight weeks: Why the hourglass could become Milan's biggest ally
"While Inter will have to share their energy and focus with the Champions League (and Coppa Italia), the Rossoneri can prepare for their matches with a full week of work, a detail that often makes the difference in the spring. Allegri reiterated this after Lecce, emphasising that 'working consistently throughout the week allows us to focus on the details and grow as a team'. He also pointed to March as the decisive month, and in just over one month it will arrive."
"The upcoming league games thus become an opportunity rather than a risk. With no midweek fixtures, Milan have the chance to maintain consistent results and apply pressure to those ahead, capitalising on any lapses in concentration from rotations for opponents competing in Europe. Allegri has spoken of a 'long and very balanced league', but the message is clear: whoever makes the fewest mistakes ultimately comes out on top."
AC Milan hold a seven-point cushion over fifth place and face a lighter schedule without European or cup commitments. The absence of midweek fixtures provides full-week preparation for each league match, enabling focused training, tactical work and recovery. Early-season wins against Como and Lecce contribute crucial momentum as the table remains tight and each slip-up becomes more costly. Upcoming fixtures, including a six-pointer with Roma and a trip to Bologna, offer opportunities to apply pressure on rivals competing on multiple fronts. Consistent results and fewer mistakes during the decisive spring months can determine final league positions.
