"First place is now eight points away, but AC Milan still have reasons to believe that they can challenge Inter all the way in the title race. As Quotidiano Sportivo write this morning, the mountain to climb is steep, and the declared primary objective remains a Champions League spot. The temptation to push for the second star is there though, especially with only the league to think about."
"His trophy cabinet includes 16 titles, including a Serie C1 championship and a Supercoppa with Sassuolo. Allegri has been managing in Serie A since 2008. He's clearly demonstrating it, in words and in actions. Firstly, he deployed the 3-5-2 when almost everyone expected a front three. Allegri is getting the most out of a squad small in numbers, with the unbeaten run now at 22 games."
AC Milan trail first place by eight points but hold a game in hand and can attempt to reduce the deficit before the March 8 derby. The immediate schedule is relatively favourable with four matches before the derby while Inter face six fixtures including Juventus and a two-legged play-off against Bodo-Glimt. Massimiliano Allegri brings deep experience with 849 first-team matches, 420 at Juventus and 205 at Milan, plus 16 career titles. Allegri has shifted tactics to a 3-5-2 and driven a 22-game unbeaten run, while key players are returning from injury amid other absences.
