Tuttosport: Milan have the worst first-half record of the European contenders - Allegri's strategy
"There is a cliche in football that the timing of goals does not matter, only that they are used in a win and Massimiliano Allegri is clearly a disciple of this. With Allegri, you know what you are getting. A manager who prioritises wins and results, as opposed to high-octane football. Of course, this is not a bad thing and Milan sit second in the table as a result of it."
"As Tuttosport writes, Allegri's Rossoneri side have 'nightmare first halves', with no one in the top six doing worse than the Diavolo in the first 45 minutes of games. Since November 23, his side have only scored once before the break. In addition to this, they have also conceded four goals in the first halves, showing that they may be weaker than others in this category."
Massimiliano Allegri emphasizes pragmatic, results-focused management rather than high-octane attacking football. Milan's approach under him prioritizes defensive solidity and strategic timing of goals, which has placed the team second in the table. However, the team has struggled to influence matches during the first 45 minutes, scoring only once before halftime since November 23. Milan have conceded four first-half goals over the same period, leaving them worst among the top six for first-half performance. The coach accepts a conservative posture, often sitting in and choosing to strike later when opportunities arise, confident in his side's ability to avoid conceding.
